Answer 1

Answer:

G. 8m

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of the given triangle:

$(-x^2+3x+30)+(x^2-9)+(18-2x)=44$

$-x^2+3x+30+x^2-9+18-2x=44$           combine like terms

$(-x^2+x^2)+(3x-2x)+(30-9+18)=44$

$x+39=44$           subtract 39 from both sides

$x=5$

The length of the shortes side:

$18-2x=18-2(5)=18-10=8\ m$
