Answer:

23/8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the triangle we need to add all the sides. Since the sides all have different denominators in their fractions, first we need to make the denominator the same.

5/4 = 10/8

3/2 = 12/8

1/8 = 1/8

Then we just add the numerators and keep the denominator the same, which gets us 23/8 meters. Since 23/8 can be simplified, that's the answer.

Answer:

7000 in the account that paid 9% interest rate and 3000 in the account that paid 8% interest rate

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be invested in account 1 and $(10000-x) in the second account

Then, 870=x*9/100+(10000-x)*8/100

x=$7,000.

Sierra applies a coat of epoxy paint to the four sides and floor of a rectangular swimming pool. The pool is 4 feet deep, 18 fee

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

4 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve using the formula for surface area of rectangular prism.

A=2(wl+hl+hw)

Where:

w = Width

h = Height

l = Length

The pool is 4 feet deep, 18 feet long, and 12 feet wide.

Hence,

=2 × (12 × 18 + 4 × 18 + 4 ×12)

=672 square feet

One gallon of paint covers 155 square feet.

Hence,

155 square feet = 1 gallon of paint

672 square feet = x

Cross Multiply

155 square feet × x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint

x = 672 square feet × 1 gallon of paint/ 155 square feet

x = 4.335483871 gallons of paint

Therefore, based on the calculation above, approximately to the nearest whole number, Sierra uses 4 gallons of paint

A triangle has side lengths of (1.3k+3.5m)(1.3k+3.5m) centimeters, (4.1k-1.6n)(4.1k−1.6n) centimeters, and (9.7n+4.4m)(9.7n+4.4m

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(5.4k+7.9m+8.1n) centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the side length of a triangle;

S1 = (1.3k+3.5m) cm

S2 = (4.1k-1.6n) cm

S3 = (9.7n+4.4m) cm

Perimeter of the triangle = S1+S2 + S3

Perimeter of the triangle = (1.3k+3.5m) + (4.1k-1.6n) + (9.7n+4.4m)

Collect the like terms;

Perimeter of the triangle = 1.3k+4.1k+3.5m+4.4m-1.6n+9.7n

Perimeter of the triangle = 5.4k+7.9m+8.1n

Hence the expression that represents the perimeter of the triangle is (5.4k+7.9m+8.1n) centimeters
