Answer: the length of the longest side is 13 inches

the length of the of the median is 12 inches

the length of the of the smallest side is 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the of the longest side of the scalene triangle.

Let y represent the length of the of the median side of the scalene triangle.

Let z represent the length of the of the smallest side of the scalene triangle.

The formula for the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the length of each side. If the 30 inch wire is bent into a scalene triangle, the perimeter would be 30 inches. it means that

x + y + z = 30 - - - - - - - - - - 1

Its median side is 2 inches longer than twice its shortest side. This means that

y = 2z + 2

2z = y - 2

z = y/2 - 1

Its longest side is one inch longer than its median side. This means that

x = y + 1

Substituting x = y + 1 and z = y/2 - 1 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 1 + y + y/2 - 1 = 30

Multiplying through by 2, it becomes

2y + 2 + 2y + y - 2 = 60

5y = 60

y = 12

Substituting y = 12 into x = y + 1,

x = 12 + 1 = 13

Substituting y = 12 into z = y/2 - 1, it becomes

z = 12/2 - 1 = 6 - 1 = 5

Claire is going to invest $2,600 and leave it in an account for 18 years. Assuming the interest is compounded continuously, what
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Rate of interest r = 2.83 % (Approx.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Amount invested p = $2,600

Amount get A = $4,300

Number of year n = 18

Find:

Rate of interest r

Computation:

A = p(1+r)ⁿ

4,300 = 2,600(1+r)¹⁸

(1+r)¹⁸ = 1.653846

Rate of interest r = 2.83 % (Approx.)

What is the principal square root of -4
devlian [24]

Answer:

The principal square root of -4 is 2i.

Step-by-step explanation:

\sqrt{-4} = 2i

We have the following steps to get the answer:

Applying radical rule \sqrt{-a} =\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{a}

We get \sqrt{-4} =\sqrt{-1} \sqrt{4}

As per imaginary rule we know that \sqrt{-1}=i

= \sqrt{4} i

Now \sqrt{4} =2

Hence, the answer is 2i.
