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

Oksanka [162]

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

In a stack of 24, the 2 mediums are odd and even cards in this question. This means that 1/2 the cards are even and 1/2 are odd. To get a even card once is a 1/2 chance, then to get it again is 1/2 x 1/2 chance or 1/4 chance. This is what I think.
