a triangle has sides with lengths of 5x, 15 and 17. the perimeter of the triangle is 45 meters. what is the value of x?

1 answer:

6 0

The value of x
5x+15+17(sides)=45(perimeter of sides/sum of sides)
5x+32=45
5x=45-32
5x=13
x=13/5
x=2.6
The value of x is 2.6

-6 = y/5 + 4

Step 1: Subtract 4 from each side of the equation.

Step 2: Multiply each side by 5.

If you don't arrive at the solution y= -50 , then return to Step-1
and repeat the process, being on the lookout for your mistake.

Which choices are equivalent to the quotient below? check all that apply

zimovet [89]

Answer:

$\boxed{D. \: \sqrt{2} \: \: \: and \: \: \: C. \: \frac{ \sqrt{4} }{ \sqrt{2} }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$= > \frac{ \sqrt{16} }{ \sqrt{8} } = \frac{ \sqrt{8\times 2} }{ \sqrt{8} } \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ \cancel{ \sqrt{8}} \times \sqrt{2} }{ \cancel{ \sqrt{8} }} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{2}$

$C. \: \frac{ \sqrt{4} }{ \sqrt{2} } = \frac{ \sqrt{2 \times 2} }{ \sqrt{2} } \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{ \cancel{\sqrt{2}} \times \sqrt{2} }{ \cancel{\sqrt{2}}} \\ \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{2}$
