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

Sin^2(x/2)=sin^2x <br> Find the value of x
Veronika [31]
\sin^2\dfrac x2=\sin^2x
\dfrac{1-\cos x}2=1-\cos^2x
1-\cos x=2-2\cos^2x
2\cos^2x-\cos x-1=0
(2\cos x+1)(\cos x-1)=0
\implies\begin{cases}2\cos x+1=0\\\cos x-1=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}\cos x=-\frac12\\\cos x=1\end{cases}

The first case occurs in 0\le x for x=\dfrac{2\pi}3 and x=\dfrac{4\pi}3. Extending the domain to account for all real x, we have this happening for x=\dfrac{2\pi}3+2n\pi and \dfrac{4\pi}3+2n\pi, where n\in\mathbb Z.

The second case occurs in 0\le x when x=0, and extending to all reals we have x=2n\pi for n\in\mathbb Z, i.e. any even multiple of \pi.

What is when you divide 33-55 divide by 11 will egual
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
So if you means 33-55=-22
-22/11=x

so when dividing by a negative, just divide as usual, but just make the answer negative so

-22/11=22/11 times -1/1=2 times -1=-2

the answer is -2

Which expression is equivalent to 14x − 7 + 3(2x − 5)?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

This equation is equivalent to 20x-22

\mathrm{Expand}\:3\left(2x-5\right):\quad 6x-15\\=14x-7+6x-15\\\mathrm{Simplify}\:14x-7+6x-15:\quad 20x-22\\=20x-22

<em>Hope this helps and have a great day!</em>
