Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the shorter two lengths is exactly equal to the longer length. The "triangle" made by these segments will look like a line segment of length 12. It will have zero area.

Many authors would tell you this is not a triangle. (Others will tell you it is a triangle—a degenerate case.)

_____

These numbers are an arithmetic sequence. The ratio of lengths is 1 : 2 : 3. The only arithmetic sequence of side lengths that makes a right triangle are those in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5.

Sophie has 5 pieces of string that are 4 yards each. She uses 3 pieces that are each 3 feet long. How much string does Sophie ha

stich3 [128]

Alright, lets get started.

Sophie has 5 pieces of string that are 4 yards each.

1 yards = 3 feet,

So, 4 yards = $4 * 3 =12$ feet

Total number of string she has = 5 piece

So, total length she has = $5*12 = 60$ feet

It means she had 60 feet string in starting.

Now, She uses 3 pieces that are each 3 feet long, means

She uses = $3*3 = 9$ feet

So, remaining string length will be = $60 - 9 = 51$ feet

Means 51 feet string does Sophie have. : Answer

Hope it will help :)

The price of a calculator has decreased from

NeTakaya

Decrease = New number - Original Number

% Decrease = $\frac{Decrease}{Original~number}$ × 100

Decrease = 9 - 12 = -3

% Decrease = $\frac{-3}{12}$ = -0.25 × 100 = -25

Your answer = -25
