Answer:

40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let r represent the radius of the circle, the legs of the triangle have length 5+r and 12+r. Then the Pythagorean Theorem tells us ...

(5 +12)^2 = (5 +r)^2 +(12 +r)^2

5^2 +2·5·12 +12^2 = 5^2 +2·5·r +r^2 + 12^2 +2·12·r +r^2

120 = 34r +2r^2 . . . . subtract 5^2 +12^2

60 +8.5^2 = 8.5^2 +17r +r^2 . . . . . . divide by 2, add (17/2)^2

11.5 = 8.5 +r . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . take the square root (negative root is extraneous)

3 = r

The radius of the circle is 3 cm. The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the side lengths:

(5 +3) cm + (12 +3) cm + (5+12) cm = 2(5 +12 +3) cm = 40 cm

Six boys are comparing their heights. Andy is taller than Dan but shorter than Ethan. Bill is taller than Ethan and Frank. Frank
Alexxx [7]

List of boys from tallest to shortest is: Bill, Frank, Ethan, Andy, Dan, Cory

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Six boys are comparing their heights

The six boys are Andy, Dan, Ethan, Bill, Frank, Cory

To find: List the boys from tallest to shortest

<u><em>Andy is taller than Dan but shorter than Ethan</em></u>

So the arrangement goes like this:

Ethan

Andy

Dan

<u><em>Bill is taller than Ethan and Frank:</em></u>

So Bill is taller than ethan. Thus the arrangement from tall to short is made as:

Bill

Ethan

Andy

Dan

Also bill is taller than frank. So frank can be placed anywhere below bill

But given that Frank is taller than Ethan. So frank can be placed above ethan

Now the arrangement goes like this:

Bill

Frank

Ethan

Andy

Dan

<em><u>Cory is shorter than Dan.</u></em>

So cory can be placed below Dan.

<em><u>Thus final arrangement from tallest to shortest boys are:</u></em>

Bill

Frank

Ethan

Andy

Dan

Cory

Two angles are supplementary the measure of one angle is 4 times the measure of the other angle what is the measure of the small
noname [10]
X + y = 180
x = 4y 
Plug that in and you get: 4y + y = 180
5y = 180
y = 36

If you want the larger angle, simply plug in y to x = 4y
So: x = 4(36) = 144

The smaller angle is 36 degrees, and the larger angle is 144 degrees.
