The sides are 2x, 3x-5 and 4x+2
perimiter is the sum of the sides

a.
2x+3x-5+4x+2=63 is an equation

b.
solve
group like terms
2x+3x+4x-5+2=65
add like terms
9x-3=65
add 3 to both sides
9x=68
divide both sides by 9
x=68/9


2x=2(68/9)=136/9 in
3x-5=3(68/9)-5=(68/3)-5=(68/3)-(15/3)=53/3
4x+2=4(68/9)+2=272/9+2=272/9+18/2=290/9

the side lengths are 136/9in, 53/3in, and 290/9in

Jenna used a probability simulator to roll a 12-sided number cube 100 times. Her results are shown in the table below: Number on
KATRIN_1 [288]

The probability would be 14 over 100.

We can tell this because by the table, the number 1 was rolled 14 total times. You can state the probability by expressing with the number of times rolled over total times rolled. Since it was rolled a total of 100 times, we are left with 14/100.

I need help with this ​
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1- angle JZF

supplementary angle or straight angle =180 degree

HZJ+JZF=HZF straight angle

2- JZA

complementary angle or right angle =90 degree

HZJ+JZA=HZA ( right angle)

if angle HZJ=38 degrees

HZJ+FZJ=180

FZJ=180-38

<h2>FZJ=142 degrees</h2>

HZG+HZJ=180

HZG=180-38=142 degrees ( which is vertical angle to FZJ and equal to it)

HZG=142 degrees

AZJ+HZJ=90 degrees

AZJ=90-38

AZJ=52 degrees
