Answer:
The length of the sides of the triangle are as follow: Two sides are 14.4 inches long and the shortest is 7.2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 36in // perimeter of triangle
P = A + B + C //equation for perimeter of a triangle
A = B or B = A //Showing that two sides are equal in length
A = 2C and B = 2C //Showing that the two equal sides are each doubled of the shortest side
C = A/2 and C = B/2 //Showing the same thing as the top, but in terms of the shortest side
Solve for C //First we solve for the shortest side as it's easiest
36 = A + B + C
36 = 2C + 2C + C //Use substitution for A and B
36 = 5C
C = 7.2in
Solve for A
A = 2C
A = 2(7.2) //Use what we solved for C
A = 14.4in
Solve for B
B = A
B = 14.4in //Same as A
Check Work
P = A + B + C
P = 14.4 + 14.4 + 7.2
P = 36
Answer:
I got 235, which works in perfectly into the problem...
Step-by-step explanation:
Length = x
width = y
y = 16
x = 2y
x = 2(16)
x = 32
perimeter = 2x + 2y
= 2(32) + 2(16)
= 64 + 32
= 96
So to find how much Ruben will make if he works 4 hours a day as a cashier and 3 hours a day as a waiter for 5 days per week first we'll work on his cashier job. So he makes 4$ an hour as a cashier and her works 4 hours every day for 5 days, multiply 4 by 4 and you'll get 16, so he makes 16 dollars per day as a cashier. now that we know how much he makes a day we simply have to multiply 16 by 5 since he works for 5 days every week. 16*5 is 80, so Ruben makes 80 dollars working 4 hours a day for 5 days. Now we move onto his waiter job. he makes 5.50 an hour as a waiter and her works 3 hours a day. So we multiply 3 by 5.50 to get 16.5. Next, we multiply 16.5 by 5 since he also works 5 days a week as a waiter. 16.5*5 is equal to 82.5. now we add 82.5 and 80 to get 162.5. SO Ruben makes 162.5$ working both jobs 5 days a week
