Answers:

shortest side = 20 feet

medium side = 26 feet

longest side = 34 feet

=======================================

Explanation:

x = first side

y = second side

z = third side

Assume x < y < z

y = x+6 since the second side is 6 ft longer than the shortest (first) side

z = 2x-6 because "third side that is 6 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side"

P = 80 is the perimeter

--------------------

x+y+z = P

x+x+6+z = P .... plug in y = x+6

2x+6+2x-6 = P ... plug in z = 2x-6

4x = P

4x = 80 ... plug in P = 80

x = 80/4 ... divide both sides by 4

x = 20

------------------

first side = x = 20 feet

second side = y = x+6 = 20+6 = 26 feet

third side = z = 2x-6 = 2*20-6 = 34 feet

So,

x = 20, y = 26, z = 34

are the three side lengths

x+y+z = 20+26+34 = 80

and the three side lengths add to 80, so the answer checks out

A triangular pane of glass has a height of 30 inches and an area of 270 square inches. what is the length of the base pane
Tems11 [23]
The equation for the area of a triangle is A= b*h /2. So, plug in your known variables, and you get 270in^2= b*30 /2. First you multiply by 2 to cancel out the division for 2, which gets you 540= b* 30. To get "b" by itself, divide both sides by 30, giving you <u>18=b</u>.

To check this, plug in your new known variable, as 270= 18* 30 /2. This will equal as 270=270, confirming 18in as the correct measurement.

Answer:

  180, 180, 148, 180, 148

Step-by-step explanation:

The two rules in play here are ...

  • the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°
  • the angles of a linear pair are supplementary (they total 180°)

__

The first of these rules answers the first two questions:

  • interior angles total 180°
  • angles 1, 3, 4 total 180°

We can subtract the measure of angle 1 from both sides of the previous equation to find the sum of the remaining two angles.

  • angles 3 and 4 total 148°

The second rule answers the next question:

  • angles 1 and 2 total 180°

As before, subtracting the value of angle 1 from both sides of the equation gives ...

  • angle 2 must be 148°

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Of course, the subtraction property of equality comes into play, also. For some unknown, X, you have (in both cases) ...

  X + 32° = 180°

  X +32° -32° = 180° -32° . . . . . . subtraction property of equality

  X = 148° . . . . . . . . simplify

In the first case, X is the sum of angles 3 and 4. In the second case, X is angle 2 only.
