HOW TO SOLVE:
1) use x as a variable
2) the starting equation is:
4x + 3x + 5x = 18
3) add all the like terms on the left side of the equation:
12x = 18
4) Divide by 12 on both sides:
x=1.5
5) Find the lengths of the sides:
- 4x = 4(1.5) = 6
- 3x = 3(1.5) = 4.5
- 5x = 5(1.5) = 7.5
SO, the lengths of the sides of this triangle are: 6, 4.5, and 7.5
It’s phrased very weird, but I believe I have it figured out.
On the map, there distance of the race is 41.9 inches.
So, (41.9)(400) = 16760 feet
Hello!
The words at least means that the worker needs to work 8, 9 or 10 hours. We can add probabilities, so we will add .6 (for those working 8 hours), .15 (for those working 9 hours) and .08 (for those working 10 hours) to get a total probability of .83.
Hope this helps!
-x/8<-1/2. Use the reverse order of operations to solve this. So, as both sides are negative, multiply them by -1 to get you to x/8>1/2, as multiplying by a negative flips the symbol. Solve that by multiplying 1/2 to 8/1. Multiply the numerators and denominators, to give you 8/2. Simplified, x>4
This is one of the special right triangles known as a 30, 60, 90 triangle. (Characterized by its angles)
In these triangles, the shortest leg is HALF the length of the hypotenuse.
The longest leg is (√3) times the length of the short leg.
Therefore, the shortest leg is 20, and the longest leg is 20(√3)
FINAL ANSWER:
SHORT LEG: 20 units
LONG LEG: 20√3 units
