Answer:

The answer to your question is L = 10 in , M = 9 in ; S = 5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

longest side = 5 + x in

medium side = 4 + x in

shortest side = x

Perimeter = 24 in

Process

1.- Write and equation to solve this problem

    Perimeter = longest side + medium side + shortest side

Substitution

             24 = (5 + x) + (4 + x) + x

Simplification

            24 = 5 + x + 4 + x + x

            24 = 9 + 3x

            24 - 9 = 3x

                  15 = 3x

                   x = 15/3

                   x = 5

2.- Calculate the lengths of the side

Longest side = 5 + 5 = 10 in

Medium side = 5 + 4 = 9 in

Shortest side = 5 in

Answer: the shortest side is 5 inches.

The medium side is 9 inches.

The longest side is 10 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side.

Let y represent the length of the medium side.

Let z represent the length of the longest side.

The longest side of a triangle is 5 inches longer than the shortest side. This means that

z = x + 5

The medium side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side. This means that

y = x + 4

If the perimeter of the triangle is 24 inches, it means that

x + y + z = 24 - - - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting z = x + 5 and y = x + 4 into equation 1, it becomes

x + x + 4 + x + 5 = 24

3x + 9 = 24

3x = 24 - 9 = 15

x = 15/3 = 5

y = x + 4 = 5 + 4

y = 9

z = x + 5 = 5 + 5

z = 10

The time required for a citizen to complete the 2010 U.S. Census "long" form is normally distributed with a mean of 40 minutes a
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Third quartile (Q₃) = 46.75 minutes.

Therefore, Option (c) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean  (μ) = 40 minutes and S.D (σ) = 10 minutes

To find : Third quartile (Q₃) = ?

Sol: As the third quartile of normal distribution covers the 75% of the total area of the curve and first quartile covers the 25% of the total area of the curve. Then with the help of z score table, the value represented the third quartile of the normal distribution is:

Q₃ = μ + 0.675 σ

Now by substitution the value of mean and standard deviation,

Q₃ = 40 + 0.675 × (10)

Q₃ = 40 + 6.75

Q₃ = 46.75

Therefore, the third quartile (Q₃) = 46.75. So, option (c) is the correct answer.

Two bags with 3 oranges in each bag is the same amount as 3 bags with 2 oranges in each bag. Which property of multiplication do
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Commutative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

The property of multiplication that is being demonstrated is known as Commutative Property. This property basically shows that when multiplying two numbers the actual order in which they are multiplied does not matter and does not affect the result at all. For example, the in this scenario to get the total number of oranges we have to multiply the number of bags by the number of oranges in each bag, but whatever way we do this they equal the same

2 bags * 3 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

3 bags * 2 oranges per bag = 6 oranges

Therefore,

2 * 3 = 3 * 2
