Answer:

Answer:10.875

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the short side be x.

Then the long side is 3x.

There are two opposite sides of each length, so the perimeter is

3x + 3x + x + x = 8x

The perimeter is 29, so we get the equation

8x = 29

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 8.

x = 29/8

x = 3.625

The longer side is 3x.

3x = 3(3.625) = 10.875

Answer: 10.875

Find the hcf 8x(x - 2) -2(x - 2)​
charle [14.2K]

We can see both terms have a (x-2) in them.

We can also see that 8 and 2 are both even so there is a 2 in common.

This means that the gcd or hcf or whatever you call it is 2(x-2)

**Just mentioning most of the time we call it the GCD(greatest common divisor) or the GCF(greatest common factor) and almost never uses hcf :)
