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

A. 2, 200, 2000  

This is multiplying the number by 10 each time. In other words, just adding an extra zero to the end of it. 

b. 340, 0.034 

This one is moving the decimal place forward two places. 10^-2, so removing two zeros from the end of it until eventually you reach decimals and have to move the decimal forward twice, which is essentially what you're doing here.

c. 85700, 857, 0.857

In this one, you remove one zero from the end. You move the decimal forward once when you reach the decimals. This would be 10^-1

d. 444000, 4440000, 44400000

In this one, you multiply each one by 10. Add on a zero to each one.

e. 0.095, 9500000, 950000000

You multiply this one by 10^2, so the number increases.

N=1/2MP? Since n would be the midpoint you have to divide the segment into two.

What is the markup percent on a diamond for which the markup is $870 and the selling price is $2870?
ryzh [129]

Answer:

30.31%

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark up on selling price is given by markup*100%/selling price

In this case, markup is given as $870 while the selling price is $2870 hence the percentage of narkup to selling price will be given by \frac {870\times 100}{2870}=30.313588850174\approx 30.31

Therefore, the percentage of markup to selling price is approximately 30.31%
