Answer:
The answer is x=-1
Short side length = x
Medium side = x + 7
Long side = 5x
Total 49, so
x + x + 7 + 5x = 49
If you combine like terms:
7x + 7 = 49
Subtract 7 from both sides
7x = 42
Divide both sides by 7
x = 6 inches.
Calculate the circumference of the two semi circles, which equals a full circle. Then add the two sides of the track.
Circumference is pi x diameter = 3.14 x 22.8 = 71.592, so, you would need to add 71.592 + 49.2 + 49.2 = 169.992 meters, and that would be the length of one lap of the track.
To determine the time it takes for the penny to reach the ground, we use the relation of height and time given above. We do as follows:

0 =−4.9t^2+(0)t+150
t = sqrt( 150/4.9)
t = 5.53 s
Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
