This is simple. First we write the equation as:
3x+7x+8x = 72.
We now simplify terms to get:
18x=72
Divide and get
x=4.

Sadly, more work is needed. We now need to plug in the variables into the ratio
3*4=12
4*7=28
4*8=32
So the side lengths are 12 in., 28 in., and 32 in. respectively

Answer:


The sides of the triangle are :
<span>24cm,28cm</span> and <span>36cm</span>


Explanation:

The ration of lengths are: <span>6:7:9</span>

Let the sides be denoted as:
<span>6x,7x</span> and <span>9x</span>

The perimeter <span>=88cm</span>

<span>6x+7x+9x=88</span>

<span>22x=88</span>

<span>x = </span>\frac{88}{22}

<span>x=4</span>

The sides can be found as follows:
<span>6x=6×4=24cm</span>

<span>7x=7×4=28cm</span>

<span>9x=9×4=36c<span>m</span></span>

Seventh grade &gt; EE.11 Probability of independent and dependent events NED
ella [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

each combination of 2 specific numbers has the same probability. there is no difference in probability between the individual numbers.

remember, a probability is always desired cases over all possible cases.

we have 4 different possible outcomes every time we spin the spinner.

to get a specific number has the probability of 1/4, because we want 1 specific outcome, and have in total 4 different possibilities.

now, we spin a second time. the probability to get a specific number is again 1/4.

but, if we consider both events to be connected, when we want to know the probability to get 2 specific numbers when spinning twice, we have to multiply the individual probabilities :

1/4 × 1/4 = 1/16

so, the probability to land first on a 5, and then secondly on a 2 is 1/16.

the same as for landing first on a 3, and then on a 5.

the same as for landing first on a 4, and then on a 4 (again).

that is because the individual spin results are independent. the result of the first spin does not impact in any way the result of the second spin (in contrary to e.g. pulling multiple cards without returning the previously pulled cards).

A small motorboat travels 12mph in still water. It takes 2 hours longer to travel 46 miles going upstream than it does going dow
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Using the relation between velocity, distance and time, it is found that the rate of the current is of 3.33 mph.

<h3>What is the relation between velocity, distance and time?</h3>

Velocity is distance divided by time, hence:

v = d/t

A small motorboat travels 12mph in still water. With the current, upstream, 46 miles are traveled in t hours, hence:

12 + r = 46/t

r = 46/t - 12

Downstream, the time is of t + 2 hours, hence:

12 - r = 46/(t + 2)

r = 12 - 46/(t + 2)

Hence, equaling the values for r:

46/t - 12 = 12 - 46/(t + 2)

46/t + 46/(t + 2) = 24

\frac{46t + 92 + 46t}{t(t + 2)} = 24

92t + 92 = 24t² + 48t

24t² - 44t - 92 = 0

Using a quadratic equation calculator, the solution is t = 3. Hence the rate is found as follows:

r = 46/t - 12 = 46/3 - 12 = 3.33 mph.

State the type of angles and solve for the yven vatizble.
Alika [10]

Answer:

1st option

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles are alternate exterior angles and are congruent , so

3x = 2x + 20 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

x = 20
