4a + 3 = 15
- 3
4a = 12
÷ 4
a = 3
I hope this helps!
I would use the pythagorean theorem to find the lengths of each side. a² + b² = c².
Side AB is one we're looking for. If you make other right triangle with that same side you can see that one length is 4 and the other is 3. So, 4² + 3² = c² → 25 = c² → 5 = c. Side AB is length 5.
Side AC is another. Do the same with that side and you get that one length is 4 and the other is 3. (This is the same one as above) so side AC is length 5.
Side BC is the last one. One of the lengths is 1 and the other is 1 → 1² + 1² = c² → 2 = c² → 1.414213562 = c so side BC is approximately length 1.41.
Add each length up and you get a perimeter of roughly 11.4

Answer: 11/12
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the LCM of 4 and 3(12). Then make the denominator of both fractions 12(3/12 and 8/12). Then add the fractions to get that they ate 11/2 of the lasagna.
