Answer:

The first side= 9 inches

The second side=12 inches

The third side=7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets make expressions to represent each of the three sides of the triangle.

If we start with the second side and say its length is x inches, then the first side becomes (x-3) inches.

The third side is gotten by subtracting 2 inches from this first side. Then its expression becomes: (x-3)-2 which can be simplified to x-5 inches.

The perimeter of a triangle is found by adding the lengths of the three sides of the triangle, thus, we add the three expressions and then equate the result to the numerical value of the perimeter.

x+(x-3)+x-5=28

3x-8=28

collecting like terms together we get:

3x=36

x=12 inches

Therefore, the first side (x-3) we substitute for x so 12-3=9

second side x is 12

the third side x-5 gives 12-5=7

Gas in Germany cost 1.50 euros per liter. how much is this in dollars per gallon
SIZIF [17.4K]
To solve this problem, you will have to first find how many US Dollars are in 1 Euro. Upon looking this up, I see that currently 1 Euro is worth 1.23 US Dollars. Next, you must calculate how many liters are in a gallon. Looking this up shows that 1 liter is equal to 0.264 gallons.

Since 0.264 is not a whole gallon and we are asked to find the price per gallon, we should next calculate how many liters can fit in a gallon. To do this, we will divide 1 by 0.264, which gives us 3.78. This tells us that 3.78 liters will fit into a gallon.

The cost of 1L of gas in euros is 1.50 Euros. Since we need 3.78L to equal 1 gallon, we can calculate the cost of this to be:

3.78 * 1.50 = €5.67

Earlier we determined that 1 euro is worth 1.23 US Dollars. Our final step is to convert our €5.67 per gallon to dollars per gallon. To do this, we simply have to multiply 5.67 by 1.23. This gives us $6.97.


So, our answer is that the cost is $6.97 per gallon.




Hopefully this is correct and makes sense to you. This is how I would approach the question.
