Answer: Shortest side = 6 inches, Medium side = 10 inches and Longest side = 11 inches

Step-by-step explanation: The perimeter has been given as 27 inches, and we know that the perimeter of any given figure is the addition of all sides. The sides are unknown yet, but we have clues as follows;

The longest side is 5 inches longer than the shortest side, hence the longest side equals s + 5. The medium side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side, hence the medium side equals s+ 4. Th shortest side remains s.

Therefore with the perimeter given as 27, we now have the expression;

s + s + 4 + s + 5 = 27

3s + 9 = 27

Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation

3s = 18

Divide both sides of the equation by 3

s = 6

Hence, the sides of the triangle are given as 6, (6+ 4) and (6+ 5), which is,

6 inches, 10 inches and 11 inches.

Answer:

8.04 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By Pythagoras Theorem:

{x}^{2}  =  \bigg( \frac{25.2}{2}  \bigg)^{2}  -  {(9.7)}^{2}  \\  \\  {x}^{2}  = ( 12.6)^{2}  -  {(9.7)}^{2}  \\  \\  {x}^{2}  = 64.67 \\  \\ x =  \sqrt{64.67}  \\  \\ x = 8.04176598 \\  \\ x \approx \: 8.04

The phone company A Fee and Fee has a monthly cellular plan where a customer pays a flat monthly fee and then a certain amount o
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

y=0.2x+29

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

y is the total monthly of the A Fee and Fee plan.

x is the number of monthly minutes used.

  • If a customer uses 290 minutes, the monthly cost will be $87, we have the pair (290, 87)
  • If the customer uses 980 minutes, the monthly cost will be $225, this is the coordinate pair (980, 225).

We want to obtain an equation in the form: y=mx+b

First, let us determine the slope, m

Given points (290, 87) and (980, 225):

<u>Slope</u>

m=\dfrac{225-87}{980-290} =\dfrac{138}{690}=0.2

Next, we determine the y-intercept, b.

Substituting the pair (290, 87) and m=0.2 in y=mx+b, we obtain

87=0.2(290)+b

b=87-0.2(290)=29

Therefore, our equation in the form y=mx+b is:

y=0.2x+29

Chad and Victoria are playing a game with a quarter and a spinner divided into sixths numbered one through six each player spins
rodikova [14]
The simple way to do this is to multiply the number of outcomes of one object times the number of outcomes in the other object. In this case a quarter has 2 sides, heads and tails. Since the spinner has 6 sections, there are 6 outcomes.


With this we can do, 2x6=12.

Therefore there are 12 outcomes
