Perimiter=x+y+z
x is 9 times as long as y
z is 1 longer than x

translate
x=9 times y or x=9y
z=1+x
subsitute 9y for x in the z=1+x equation
z=1+9y
subsitute z=1+9y and x=9y in the equation
9y+y+1+9y=39
add like terms
19y+1=39
subtract 1 from both sides
19y=38
divide by 19
y=2
subsitute
x=9y
x=9(2)
x=18

z=1+9y
z=1+9(2)
z=1+18
z=19

the side legnths are
first side: 2 in
second side: 18 in
third side: 19 in

A helicopter starting on the ground is rising directly
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Oook, quick setup: pick a cartesian plane, be (0;y(t))the position of the helicopter as time passes, and (x(t);0) your position as you start running. In my horrible sketch, the green line is the distance when you start running, the red line is the distance you need,  in general what you want is to move one end of the segment up, the other right, and stretch it.

That distance is easily found with the formula for the distance between two points in the plane, or d=\sqrt{(\Delta x)^2+(\Delta y)^2}= \sqrt{x^2(t)+y^2(t)} (playing a bit with the squares). At this point we need to write down expressions for both x(t), y(t) and find at what value of t we need to evaluate our distance.

For the sake of semplicity, let's start measuring times the moment you start running. Since speed is constant, both expressions will be of the form s=vt+s_0

The equation for the runner becomes simply x(t)=10t, since you haven't moved until the heli is high enough.

The equation of the helicopter is y=25t+30 since the heli is 30ft above ground when you start running.

Finally, we need to know how many seconds have passed when the heli is at 60 ft above ground. that happens when 60=25t+30 \rightarrow t=\frac{30}{25} = 1.20s. in this time, you are at  x(1.2)=10(1.2)=12ft from the origin.

Plugging it in the distance formula you get: \sqrt{12^2+60^2}= \sqrt{144+3600}=4\sqrt {234}\approx 61.2ft

The odds of an event happening are 7/3. What is the probability that the event does NOT happen?​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

So in your example, the odds are 7:3. In English, that means that if we had a horse race and we held 10 races with the same horses, our favored horse would finish first 7 times and lose the remaining three. But treated as a probability? If we look at it that way, we have 10 possible outcomes and the event of interest (the horse winning) happens 70% of the time. Conversely, the probability of the event not happening (the horse losing) is 30%.
