X would be 4! Since there is a right angle the two sides making the right angle are even!
1.5r-5r+3r-8
Subtract 1.5r-5r= -3.5r
Add -3.5r+3r= -0.5r
The answer is -0.5 - 8
Answer: The sides length are 8.32 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
An equilateral triangle has all his sides of the same lenght, so we assume that the triangle has an L lenght in his sides.
The area of a triangle is
where the base is L, the Area is 30 and an unknown height.
To determine the height, we cut the triangle in half and take one side. By simetry, one side has a base of
, a hypotenuse of L and a the unknown height.
Then we apply the <em>Pythagoras theorem</em>, this states that <em>in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides</em>, or,
Where one c is
and the other is the height.
Then we find one of the c of the equation wich will be the height.


Finally, we use the triangle area mentioned before an find the value of L.

Area = 285mm²
Length = 18mm
We can find the width by dividing the area by the length.

approximately.
2(18) + 2(15.8) = 67.6mm
2(7x - 3) = 9
step 1 : distribute thru the parenthesis......14x - 6 = 9
step 2 : add 6 to both sides.......14x = 15
