Step-by-step answer:
Given:
A triangle
Perimeter = 60 cm
longest side = 4* shortest side (x)
Solution:
longest side = 4x
shortest side = x
third (intermediate side = 60 -x -4x = 60-5x
The triangle inequality specifies that the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side to form a triangle. Hence
x + y > 4x
x + 60-5x > 4x
60 - 4x > 4x
8x < 60
x < 60/8 = 7.5, or
x < 7.5
Therefore to form a triangle, x (shortest side) must be less than 7.5 cm.
Examine the options: both 7 and 5 are both less than 7.5 cm.
40, 30 and 25 all have a problem because the longest side (4 times longer) will exceed the perimeter of 60.
Now also examine cases where 4x is NOT the longest side, in which case we need
4x>=y
or
4x >= 60-5x
9x >=60
x >= 6.67
so x=5 will not qualify, because 4x will no longer be the longest side.
The only valid option is x=7 cm
The side lengths for x=7 and x=5 are, respectively,
(7, 25, 28)
5, 20, 35 (in which case, the longest side is no longer 4x=20, so eliminated)
Answer:
x=75
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle is 180° in total and the equation was (2x+30)° if you subtract 30 from 180 you get 150 if you divide that by 2 you get 75.
Answer: 2(75) + 30° =180°
Butter pecan: 25
Vanilla: 35
Chocolate: 50
The dotted line between 20 and 30 (butter pecan) will be nothing more than anything including 5. In this case, it is 25 counting up to 30.
The solid lines directly leading to a number will be that number, for instance, chocolate is 50.
If they're similar it would be 72, 36x2=72.
