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

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN I DONT UNDERSTAND
Art [367]

Answer:

the goal is to try and get x alone. For the 1st problem, x=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 1 = 10      Subtract 1 both sides to cancel out the 1 on the left side. 10-1 = 9

3x = 9             To get x alone here, Divide 3 on both sides. 9/3 = 3

x = 3                Now x is alone, which means x = 3.

This is right because if you plug x with 3, the sum = 10.

(3*3) + 1 =10

9 + 1 = 10

So, that's how you know 3 is the right answer.

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 69. What are the three numbers?
n200080 [17]

Answer:

21, 23, 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so this one may seem a little tricky, so I'll try to explain it as best as I can. :)

So because they are consecutive odd numbers, that means they are odd numbers that are one after the other. This means each number is 2 apart from the next. So by using this, we know that there is a difference of 6 between the highest and lowest number. Now let's try and make an equation:

3o + 6 = 69

Now in order to get O by itself we have to subtract 6 from both sides:

3o = 63

Now we just have to divide by three on both sides:

o = 21

So now, we know that the lowest number is 21, but we have to add 2 to get 23, and then another 2 to get 25.

Hope this helps :)

The probability that a randomly selected point on the grid below is in the blue area is 9/16
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

The correct option is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the probability of a randomly selected point on the grid below is in the blue area is 9/16.

In the given grid we have only two colors that are blue and white.

Let A be the event of a randomly selected point on the given grid is in the blue area.

P(A)=\frac{9}{16}

If the randomly selected point on the given grid does not lie in the blue area, it means it lies on white area.

We will calculate P(A'), to find the probability that a randomly selected point is in the white on the grid.

We know that the sum of the probability is 1.

P(A)+P(A')=1

P(A')=1-P(A)

It is given that P(A)=\frac{9}{16}

P(A')=1-\frac{9}{16}

Therefore option 1 is correct.
