The lenght of each side is 24cm, 24cm, and 8cm.

In order to solve this problem, we know that the perimeter of a triangle equation is P = a + b + c, where a, b, and c are the sides of the triangle.

The perimeter is 56cm, we can write the equation as follow:

a + b + c = 56cm (1)

If each of the two longer sides of the triangles is three times as long as the shortest side, we can assume:

c = shortest side = x

a = b = longer sides = 3x

Substituting the values in the equation (1):

3x + 3x + x = 56cm

7x = 56cm

x = 56cm/7 = 8cm

c = shortest side = 8cm

a = b = longer sides = 3(8cm) = 24cm

Stels [109]

Answer:

a) 0.1535

b) 0.4866

c) 0.8111

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that the next call come within the next t minutes is:

  • p(t) = 1 -e ^{- t/3}

According to this model,

a) the probability that a call in comes within 1/2 minutes is p(t) = 1 -e ^{- (1/2)/3} =0.1535

b) the probability that a call in comes within 2 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-2/3} =0.4866

c) the probability that a call in comes within 5 minutes is  p(t) = 1 -e ^{-5/3} =0.8111

NeX [460]

Answer:

13.75

Step-by-step explanation:

make a ratio between the original lengths, 11 : 5.5

then put the ratio of the enlarged lengths, 27.5 : __

now you divide 27.5 by 11 to find how many times you multiplied the lengths, 2.5.

now you multiply 5.5 by 2.5 giving you the answer of 13.75
