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

Can you write the equation for a circle if the given point does not lie on the circle? Explain .

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle with center (a,b) and radius r is given as:

${(x - a)}^{2} + {(y - b)}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

If a given point (x,y) does not lie on this circle, it will not satisfy its equation.

This means the distance from the point to the center is not equal to the radius.

It is either less or greater than the radius.

Hence you cannot write the equation of the circle.

{4x-2y<0}<br> {5x+3y<-11}

kkurt [141]

Finding the sum for y in the equation 4x-2y< 0
so 4x - 2y = 0
4x - 2y - 4x would equal 0 - 4x
-2y = -4x
-2y divided by -2 equals -4x / -2
That means y=2x
