The first side of a triangle is twice the length of the second side; the third side is 20 feet less than three times the second

side. The perimeter of the triangle is 106 feet. Find the three sides.

Let the second side be x

then,
first side = twice the length of the second side
= 2x

third side = 20 feet less than three times the second side
3 (second side ) - 20
= 3 (2x) -20
= 6x - 20

perimete of a triangle = sum of all sides,

substitute the values we know,
and you'll be left with this equation

106 = x + 2x + 6x - 20
106+ 20 = 9x
126 = 9x
126/9 = x
14 = x

so,

measure of second side = x = 14 feet

measure of first side = 2x = 2 (14) = 28 feet

measure of thurd side = 6x - 20 = 6 (14)-20 = 84- 20 = 64 feet.

What is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to a line with a slope of 2 and passes
geniusboy [140]

To find the equation of a perpendicular line, you first need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope given. The slope is -1/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be 3

Now we just need to find the y intercept using the point (3, 2) and you can plug the coordinates in and then solve for b. Let's see what that looks like.

y=3x+b

2=3*(3)+b

2=9+b

-7=b  So now we know the y-intercept and slope. We just put them together now

y=3x-7

Classify is the function as increasing decreasing or constant l
timama [110]

Answer:

Increasing

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that f(x) is the same as y in slope intercept form y = mx + b.

We don’t have a number for “b” which means the line goes across the origin.

Since 5 replaces m, that is the slope and since it’s positive, it is increasing.

Best of Luck!

HELP ME PLEASE!!! best answer gets brainliest show steps please​
solniwko [45]

Answer:

height = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula

V = πr²h ← r is the radius and h the height

given r = 12 and V = 2880π, then

π × 12²h = 2880π

144πh = 2880π ( divide both sides by 144π )

h = \frac{2880\pi }{144\pi } = 20
