First error is that the legs are a and b so a should be x and b is 6 and c is 10 the second error is at the end they did not take the square root to get x by itself the real answer should be
X^2 +6^2=10^2
X^2+36=100
X^2 =64
X=8
P = a + b + c
P = 72
a = x
b = x + 2
c = x + 4
72 = x + x + 2 + x + 4
72 = 3x + 6
72 - 6 = 3x
66 = 3x
66/3 = x
22 = x
x + 2 = 22 + 2 = 24
x + 4 = 22 + 4 = 26
the sides of ur triangle are : 22,24,26 <==
Answer:
error in summing terms in x
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 3x + 5x = 180 ( collect like terms on left )
9x = 180 ← ( 9x not 8x )
divide both sides by 9
x = 20
Answer:
y =7
x =14
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle we can use trig functions
tan 30 = opp /adj
tan 30 = y/ 7 sqrt(3)
7 sqrt(3) tan 30 = y
7 sqrt(3) * 1/ sqrt(3) =t
7 =y
sin 30 = opp/ hyp
sin 30 = 7/x
x sin 30 =7
x = 7/ sin 30
x = 7 / 1/2
x = 14
