2x + 3x + 5x = 60
10x = 60
a = 6
Shortest side = 2x = 12 inches

Answer:

Length of shortest side = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of sides of a polygon.

Here the sides of the triangle are 2x, 3x, and 5x.

Perimeter = 2x + 3x + 5x = 10x

The perimeter of a triangle is 60 inches.

That is 10x = 60

x = 6 inches

Length of shortest side = 2x = 2 x 6 = 12 inches.

Length of shortest side = 12 inches

katrin [286]

Answer:

<h3>5ths</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • Price of whole pizza (A) = 5 × 3 = $15
  • Price of whole pizza (B) = 4.50 × 5 = $22.50

They make 8 whole pizzas.

Therefore

  • Thirds (A) = 15 × 8 = $120
  • Fifths (B) = 22.50 × 8 = $180

They'll make more money if they slice it into fifths.

180 - 120 = $60

Because if they slice it into thirds, total profit will be $60 less

Use the relationship between the
motikmotik

The equation x° = 180° - (37°+ 53°) can be used to find the value of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; There are three lines in the given diagram. There are a baseline and two other lines. Out of the other two lines, one extends above and below the baseline whereas the other extends only above. Since the baseline is horizontal and the others are at angles we have the sum of all the three angles as 180° i.e. 37°, x°, and 53°.

37° + x° + 53° = 180°.

Step 2; To solve the value of x, we keep the unknown value at the left-hand side whereas all the known values are taken to the right side of the equation.

x° = 180° - (37°+ 53°).

So the fifth option can be used to determine the value of x.
