S = length of small side
M = length of medium side
L = length of long side

The triangle is scalene meaning that the three sides (S, M, L) are all different. If any two sides were equal, then we'd have an isosceles triangle. If all sides were the same, then the triangle would be equilateral. 

"The longest side is twice that of the shortest side" tells us that L = 2*S
The longest side is given to be 6.2 cm, so L = 6.2 and we can find S to be...

L = 2*S
6.2 = 2*S
2*S = 6.2
S = 6.2/2
S = 3.1

The longest side is 6.2 leads to the shortest side being 3.1

Add up the three sides and set that sum equal to the perimeter 14.5

(short side) + (medium side) + (long side) = perimeter
S + M + L = 14.5
3.1 + M + 6.2 = 14.5
M + 9.3 = 14.5

It's not clear where your teacher wants you to stop, so this might be a good place. If you wanted, you can isolate M by subtracting 9.3 from both sides

Answer:

0 and yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a=6m where m is any integer since a is divisible by 6. (a+12)/3=(6m+12)/3=2m+4 which is also an integer. The remainder is 0.

Since n is divisible by 3, n can be written as 3a, where a is any integer and m can be written as 2b, where b is any integer. n*m+12=6ab+12 which is divisible by 2.

--Multiplying Polynomials--Use the given formulas to express the volume of each object as a polynomial.
sasho [114]

32.

V = L*w*h

Where:

V= Volume

L= Length = x+5

w= width = x-2

h= height = 6

Replacing with the values given:

V= (x+5) * (x-2) * 6

V =[ (x*x) + (x*-2) + (5*X) +5*-2) ] * 6

V= [ x^2 - 2x + 5x - 10 ] * 6

V= [ x^2 + 3x - 10] *6

V= (x^2*6) + (3x*6)+ ( - 10 * 6)

V= 6x^2 + 18x - 60

A book sold 35,300 copies in its first month of release. Suppose this represents 6.3 of the numbers sold to date. How many copie
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

560,317.460

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of copies that have been sold is shown below:-

we assume the number of copies is x

So, the number of copies in the first month is

= \frac{6.3}{100} x

As per the situation the number of sold copies is 35,300 so the equation will be

\frac{6.3}{100} x = 35,300

6.3x = 35,300\times 100

x = \frac{35,300\times 100}{6.3}

after solving the above equation we will get the number of copied that have been sold to date

= 560,317.460
