Answer: the shortest side is 10 centimeters.

The length of each of the other sides is 10 centimeters each.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle.

Two sides of the triangle are each twice as long as the shortest side. This means that the length of the two sides would be 2x.

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of each side of the triangle.

The puzzle piece in the shape of a triangle has perimeter 25 centimeters. This means that

x + 2x + 2x = 25

5x = 25

x = 25/5

x = 5

The length of each of the two sides is

2x = 2 × 5 = 10

aliina [53]

Answer:

<em>3.36in</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The total surface area of the cardboard is expressed as;

TSA = 2(LW + LH + WH)

L is the length = 4in

W is the width

H is the height = 7in

TSA = 130in²

Substitute the given values into the formula and get the width W

TSA = 2(LW + LH + WH)

130 = 2(4W+4(7) + 7W)

130 = 2(11W+28)

130 = 22W+56

22W = 130 - 56

22S = 74

W = 74/22

<em>W = 3.36in</em>

<em>hence the width of the photo is 3.36in</em>

The points represented by the table lie on a line. How can you find the slope of the line
Simora [160]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so you can take any two points 1 x one y in the form (x, y) and (x, y) so

(2, 5) and (4, 1)

then use the slope formula y2-y1/ x2 -x1

1-5+=4

4-2=2

slope equals 4/2 simplified equals 2

I THINKKKKK!

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the inequality like an equation using inverse operations.

-6n+5<11

-6n+5-5<11-5

-6n<6   when you divide by -6 be sure to change the sign

n>-1

Graph it in the number by placing an open circle on -1 and marking the arrow to the right.

Ellen has a bag with 3 red marbles and 2 blue marbles in it. She is going to randomly draw a marble from the bag 300 times, putt
sweet [91]

Answer:

No. of times Ellen draws a blue marble = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of red marbles = 3

No. of blue marbles = 2

\text{Probability of drawing a blue marble = }\frac{\text{No. of possible outcomes}}{\text{Total no. of outcomes}}\\\\P(B)=\frac{2}{5}\\\\No. of draws (n) = 300\\\text{So, total probability = }n\times P(B)\\\\=100\times \frac{2}{5}=120.

So, the required probability is 120.
