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

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Total number of tablets needs to discharge = 240 tables

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of days tablet need = 30 days

Number of times per days need = 4 times

Number of tablet per time = 2 tablet

Find:

Total number of tablets needs to discharge = ?

Computation:

⇒ Total number of tablets needs to discharge = Number of days tablet need × Number of times per days need × Number of tablet per time

⇒ Total number of tablets needs to discharge = 30 × 4 × 2

⇒ Total number of tablets needs to discharge = 240 tables

If the standard deviation of a set of data is zero, what can you conclude about the set of values? The sum of the deviations fro
Rashid [163]

Answer:

All values are identical.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

If the standard deviation of a set of data is zero.

Then, all the values in data are identical.

This can be shown as:

Let all the terms in data be x.

Formula:

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.  

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{nx}{n} = x

Sum of squares of differences =

\displaystyle\sum (x_i - x)^2 = 0

\sigma = \sqrt{\frac{0}{n}} = 0

Thus, the correct answer is

All values are identical.
