The shorter side of the triangle is 18 cm and each of the longer sides are 54 cm

<u>Solution:</u>

Given that triangle has perimeter of 126 cm

Let the length of the shorter side of the triangle be "a"

The 2 longer sides are 3 times as long as the shortest side

So length of 2 longer sides = 3(length of the shorter side)

length of 2 longer sides = 3a

<em><u>The perimeter of triangle is given as:</u></em>

perimeter of triangle = length of the shorter side + length of 2 longer sides

perimeter of triangle = a + 3a + 3a

126 = a + 3a + 3a

7a = 126

a = 18

So length of shorter side = 18 cm

length of 2 longer sides are each = 3a = 3(18) = 54 cm

Thus, the shorter side of the triangle is 18 cm and each of the longer sides is 54 cm

Assume that the U.S. PPF measures oil and gas production on the ​x-axis and production of other goods and services on the ​y-axi
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

The U.S. PPF rotates​ outward (abticlockwisely), increasing the ​x-axis intercept with no change in the y-axis intercept

Step-by-step explanation:

Fracking is a method of improving production capabilities on oil and gas production. Although, it usually leads to environmental pollution later, it does bring in higher yields of oil and gas.

If the oil and gas production on the x-axis increases without a simultaneous, almost equal increase in production of other goods and services (on the y-axis), the data points for the x-axis shift more to the right and the PPF rotates more anti-clockwisely outward, thereby increasing the intercept on the now improved x-axis and not too much change on the intercept of the y-axis.
