A triangle has the following side lengths: x - 2, x, and 3x + 1. Another triangle has the following side lengths: 2x - 5, x + 4,

6x - 7. If the perimeters of the two triangles are equal, what is x?

we know that

Perimeter of a triangle is equal to

P=a+b+c

where

a,b and c are the length sides of the triangle

<u>Find the perimeter of the triangles</u>

<u>Triangle N 1</u>

P=(x-2)+(x)+(3x+1)-------> P=5x-1

<u>Triangle N 2</u>

P=(2x-5)+(x+4)+(6x-7)------> P=9x-8

equate the perimeters

5x-1=9x-8--------> 9x-5x=-1+8-------> 4x=7

x=7/4------> x=1.75

therefore

the answer is

x=1.75

You have to deal with this type of question step by step. Firstly, you can figure out all the unknown values (such as sqrt x-3), by substituting x for 19, as you are trying to figure out f(x) when x=19. Therefore:
x+2=21
sqrt(x-3)=sqrt(19-3)=sqrt 16=4
Now the equation is easier to handle:
3/21 - 4
We can write this as 3/21 - 4/1 , which equals -27/7.

Which statements are true about these lines? Select three options.
shepuryov [24]
RS is perpendicular to MN and PQ.


We can use the slopes of these lines to determine the answer.
Slope is given by the formula
m=.

Using the coordinates for M and N, we have:
m=.

Since PQ is parallel to MN, its slope will be as well, since parallel lines have the same slope.

Using the coordinates for points T and V in the slope formula, we have
m=.

This is not parallel to MN or PQ, since the slopes are not the same.
We can also say that it is not perpendicular to these lines; perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals (they are opposite signs and are flipped). This is not true of TV either.

Using the coordinates for R and S in the slope formula, we have
m=. Comparing this to the slope of RS, it is flipped and the sign is opposite; they are negative reciprocals, so they are perpendicular.
