Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the perimeter of this triangle is 23 units. Since the perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its three sides, we right this sum using for each side the expression that they show in the picture.

Perimeter =(3x-5)+(2x+1)+4x=23\\3x-5+2x+1+4x=23\\9x-4=23\\9x=23+4\\9x=27\\x=\frac{27}{9} =3

Therefore, the value of the unknown "x" which appears in the expressions for all of the three sides, is 3 units.

Then, the side: 3x-5 = 3(3)-5 = 9-5 = 4 units

the side 2x+1 = 2(3)+1 = 6+1 = 7 units

and the side 4x = 4(3) = 12 units (therefore this is the longest side).

Answer:5.435

Step-by-step explanation: In math, the average value in a set of numbers is the middle value, calculated by dividing the total of all the values by the number of values. To find this answer, we need to find the average of a set of data, we add up all the values and divide this total by the numbers of values. So if you add 4.40, 3.12, 8.00 and 6.22 together, we get 21.74. There are four values (4.40, 3.12, 8.00 and 6.22) so we divide the amount of values there are, which would be four. 21.47/4 would then get you 5.435
