A triangle has the following side lengths: x - 2, x, and 3x + 1. Another triangle has the following side lengths: 2x - 5, x + 4,

6x - 7. If the perimeters of the two triangles are equal, what is x?

Since we know that the perimeters are equal, we can make an equation where the sum of the side lengths of one triangle equal the sum of the side lengths of the other triangle. This yields (x-2)+(x)+(3x+1)=(2x-5)+(x+4)+(6x-7). If we combine like turns, the equation becomes 5x-1=9x-8. We can use the subtraction property of equality to isolate the x and the integers by saying 9x-5x=-1-(-8). Simplifying this gives 4x=7 or x=1.75

Hope this helps.

Fill in the blanks to complete this proof of theorem 2-3.
Basile [38]

Answer:

Therefore.

angle 1 is congruent to angle 3 ...Proved

The proof with steps are below with Fill in the blanks

Step-by-step explanation:

Complementary Angles:

Two angles are Complementary when they add up to 90 degrees.

Example 40° and 50° are Complementary Angles.

If 'x' and 'y' are Complementary Angles the we have

x+y=90\°

Here,

Given:

angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary

angle 3 and angle 2 are complementary

To Prove:

angle 1 is congruent to angle 3

Proof:

Step 1:

angle 1 and angle 2 are complementary and angle 3 and angle 2 are complementary because it is Given.

Step 2:

By the definition of complementary angles,

m of angle 1 + m of angle 2 = _90°__ and m of angle 3 + m of angle 2 = _90°_.

Step 3:

Transitive Property of Equality.

Then m of angle 1 + m of angle 2 = m of angle 3 + m of angle 2 by the Transitive Property of Equality.

Step 4:

Subtract m of angle 2 from each side. By the Subtraction Property of Equality, you get

m\angle 1 +m\angle 2-m\angle 2=m\angle 3+m\angle 2-m\angle 2

m\angle 1=m\angle 3

m of angle 1 = _measure of angle_3_.

Step 5:

Angles with the same measure are _Congruent__,

Step 6:

so angle 1 is congruent to angle 3.

Therefore.

angle 1 is congruent to angle 3 ...Proved

8) BRAINLIEST + 15+ POINTS! :)<br><br> Which of the following is a graph of y=1/2 x +1
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We can rule out the second and third because the y intercept in those graphs are not 1

Now lets look at the point 2,5 on graph a

y=1/2x+1

so 5=1+1 but that is false

D is the answer by elimination

The cost of putting in automatic sprinklers for a lawn largely depends upon the length of Poole that must be laid. The controlle
OLga [1]

Answer:

c(F) = 135 + 2.5F

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Controller cost = $135

System cost = $2.50 per foot of pipeline

The total cost depends upon the length of Pole.

Let the system requires F feet of pipeline.

Total cost will be given by the equation:

c(F) = \text{Controller cost + System cost(Feet of pipeline required)}\\c(F) = 135 + 2.5F

is the required expression for total cost

F: feet of pipeline required

c(F): Total cost of installation
