Given:
The ratio of the measures of the three sides of a triangle is
.
Its perimeter is 31.4 centimeters
To find:
The shortest side of the triangle.
Solution:
Let the measures of the three sides of a triangle are
respectively (in cm).
Its perimeter is 31.4 centimeters.




On further simplification, we get


Divide both sides by 3.


Now, the sides of triangle are



Therefore, the length of the shortest side is 6.978 cm.

Answer:
4.5 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Given


To solve this, we simply solve for the distance (D) between both points.

Where:







<em></em>
<em> --- approximated</em>
<em>Since each unit is 1 mile. The distance is 4.5 miles</em>
Denominator is the number which appears at the
bottom of fraction so the fraction we want is in the form X/8 and also less
than 5/6
Lets start from changing the values of X from
1.
1/8 = 0.125 and 5/6 = 0.8333
2/8 = 0.25
3/8 = 0.375
4/8 = 0.5
5/8 = 0.625
6/8 = 0.75
7/8 = 0.875, this is greater than 5/6
<span>So, the fractions with denominator 8 and less
than 5/6 are 1/8, 2/8, 3/8, 4/8, 5/8 and 6/8</span>
