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

If 25 percent of your classmates have cats, and your class has 20 students, how many students have cats? (I have to show my work
Rufina [12.5K]

5 students.

25% is a quarter of the amount, or 1/4. A quarter of 20 is 5, since 4 times 5 is 20. So 5 students have cats.

Is the answer B or C
klio [65]

We will calculate it like this, We will make a right angle triangle by adding one new point called O for example, and O is located right under the point C, and on the right side of point D, so the coordinated for this point are O (8, -2). From there, length CD is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem, because we know that the CO = 4 and DO = 4, so:

CD^2 = CO^2 + DO^2

CD^2 = 4^2 + 4^2

DC^2 = 16 + 16

DC^2 = 32

DC = square root of 32 = square root of 16 * square root of 2

DC = 4 * square root of 2

The correct answer is B. 4*square root of 2.
