D/60 + D/50 = 2D/55 - 1/2

 find common denominator ( 3300)

3300/60 = 55

3300/50 = 66

3300/55=60

so then you get 55D +66D= 60(2D)-1650

121D=120D-1650

D=1650 miles

check

1650/60 =27.5, 1650/50 = 33,  27.5 + 33 = 60.5 hours total

1650/55 = 30, 30 x 2 = 60

60.5-60 = 0.5 longer

 so distance = 1650 miles

The longest side of an acute triangle measures 30 inches. The two remaining sides are congruent, but their length is
qwelly [4]

Answer:

(C)72.4 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given an acute triangle in which the longest side measures 30 inches; and the other two sides are congruent.

Consider the attached diagram

AB=BC=x

However to be able to solve for x, we form a right triangle with endpoints A and C.

Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a right triangle

Hypotenuse, AC=30 Inches

Using Pythagoras Theorem

30^2=x^2+x^2\\900=2x^2\\x^2=450\\x=\sqrt{450}\\x=21.21$ inches

Therefore, the smallest possible perimeter of the triangle

Perimeter=2x+30

=2(21.21)+30

=42.42+30

=72.4 Inches (rounded to the nearest tenth)
