Answer:
19cm
Step-by-step explanation:
An equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the 3 sides are the same.
the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides
for example, if the length of the side of the an equilateral triangle is 5, the perimeter is 5 x 3 = 15
let x = unknown length of side
length after increase = x + 5
(x + 5) x 3 = 72
divide both sides of the equation by 3
x + 5 = 24
subtract 5 from both sides of the equation
x = 24 - 5 = 19cm
Answer:
-5n + 8
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>1. What is the difference?</u>
The sequence goes down by 5. This means that the formula will have -5n in it.
<u>2. Work out the term before the first term.</u>
The first term is 3, and we know that the sequence goes up by 5. So, to get the term before 3 we would add 5.
3 + 5 = 8 Remember, this is positive 8. (+8)
<u>3. Put that term at the end of the equation. </u>
We have -5n already and we just worked out the term before the first one which is positive 8 - so put that at the end of the equation.
-5n + 8 This is our answer!
Just to prove it works:
<em>Substitute: n = term</em>
Lets see if we can get the 3rd term which is -7. (n = 3)
-5(3) + 8
-15 + 8 = -7
See, it works!
