Hey there,
Let's say that the first piece is x cm
1st = x
2nd = x + 25%
3rd = x - 25%
100% = 240 cm
1% = 240 / 100
      = 2.4cm
x + x + 25 + x - 25 = 100
3x + 25 - 25 = 100
3x = 100 - 25 + 25
3x = 100
3x = 240 cm
x = 240 / 3
   = 80 cm
1st piece = 80 cm
2nd piece = 80 + (25% x 80)
                = 80 + 20
                = 100cm
3rd piece = 80 cm - (25% x 80)
                = 80 cm - 20
                = 60cm

Hope this helps :))

The flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle.​ (Recall that an isosceles triangle contains two angles with the same​ mea
weeeeeb [17]

31 degrees, 31 degrees, 118 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the measure of 2 angles of the given isosceles triangle with same measure

Let y be the measure of  3rd angle

So we have x + x + y = 180

Step 2 :

Given that the measure of  3rd angle of  triangle is 25​° more than three times the measure of either of the other two​ angles

So we have , y = 3 x + 25

Step 3:

Substituting for y in the first equation we have,

x + x + 3 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x = 180-25 = 155

=> x = 155/5 = 31

Hence the 2 angles of the triangle are 31 degrees.

Step 4:

we have y = 3 x + 25

=> y = 3 * 31 + 25 = 118

Hence the 3rd angle of given triangle is 118 degrees

Find the sum of the first five terms using the geometric series formula for the sequence 1/2, -1,2,-4…
sammy [17]

The sum of the first five terms is 11/2

<h3>How to determine the sum?</h3>

The series is given as:

1/2, -1,2,-4…

Calculate the common ratio of the series using

r = -4/2

Evaluate

r = -2

The sum is then calculated as:

S_n = a\frac{1 - r^n}{1 - r}

This gives

S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{(1 - (-2)^5}{1 + 2}

Evaluate

S_n = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{33)}{3}

Evaluate

S_n =\frac{11}{2}

Hence, the sum of the first five terms is 11/2
