For the answer to the question above, 
<span>Let x = the length of the first piece </span>
<span>Then 3x = length of the second piece </span>
<span>And 5x + 2 = length of the third piece </span>
<span>Now, add all three of these together and set equal to 47: </span>
<span>x + 3x + (5x + 2) = 47 </span>
<span>Now combine all the like terms and solve for x. Then use that value to find the length of the third piece.</span>

Hello there.

How many triangles can be made if one angle is 95° and another angle is obtuse?
Elenna [48]
D. None. Say the obtuse angle is 100 degrees. Since the sum of all angles in a triangle cannot be bigger than 180, it's not possible because 195 (100+95) is greater than 180 degrees. Hope this helps.

Help pleaseeeee ???????
Mkey [24]

Answer: y+6x = -34

<em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em>

y-2= -6(x+6)                              (<u><em>Ax+By=C is the goal)</em></u>

y-2= -6x-36  <u>(-6) x & (-6) 6</u>

y=-6x-34 (Add 2 to both sides)

<em>y+6x = -34   [Add 6x to both sides]</em>

JUST HELP ME! PLEASE!!..0o0<br><br>Applying the Pythagorean theorem, solve this triangle.​
Inessa [10]
<h3>Answer:    <u>100 ft</u>  is the hypotenuse</h3>

===================================================

Work Shown:

a = 60 and b = 80 are the two known sides

c  is the unknown hypotenuse

Applying the pythagorean theorem gets us...

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

60^2 + 80^2 = c^2

3600 + 6400 = c^2

10,000 = c^2

c^2 = 10,000

c = sqrt(10,000)

c = 100

A quick way to see that 100 ft is the missing side is to note that a 6,8,10 right triangle scales up to 60,80,100 after multiplying all three sides by 10.

Or you could start with a 3,4,5 right triangle and multiply all three sides by 20.
