Question

Which equation can be used to find the value of b if side a measures 8.7 cm? 8.7 + b = 54.6 17.4 + b = 54.6 26.1 + b = 54.6 34.8 + b = 5

Answer 1

The correct equation is 8.7 + b = 54.6
because it is given that measure of side a is 8.7cm, in all other equations the values of a is different.
from the first equation we can find the value of b, that is
b = 54.6 - 8.7 = 45.9
so, value of b is 45.9cm
