Answer:

Equal sides = 6cm each

Unequal side = 12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = side a + side b + side c

Let

Side a = side b = x

Side c = 2x

Perimeter of the triangle=24cm

Perimeter of a triangle = side a + side b + side c

24 = x + x + 2x

24 = 4x

Divide both sides by 4

24 / 4 = 4x / 4

6 = x

x = 6

The equal sides = x = 6cm each

The unequal side = 2x

= 2(6)

= 12cm

Check:

Perimeter of a triangle = side a + side b + side c

= 6cm + 6cm + 12cm

= 24cm

Please help me <br> Find f(-4)

Katyanochek1 [597]

As x < 3, you would use the equation $x^{2} -5$
Plus in -4 for X and you would get $(-4)^{2} -5$
$(-4)^{2}$ is equal to 16.
$16-5=11
$
$f(-4)=11$
