The second side of a triangular deck is 6 feet longer than the shortest side and a third side that is 6 feet shorter than twice

the length of the shortest side. if the perimeter of the deck is 80 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?

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

Use &gt;&lt; or = to make this statement true 5/8-2 3/8 _ 48÷24
Ann [662]
So for this problem what you have to do is-
the right side first so 5/8-2 3/8= 1.7
then do the left side so 48 / 24=2
so your answer would be <

A software firm survey of 595 randomly selected adults showed that 38​% of them would erase all of their personal information on
algol [13]

Answer:

a. \ p=0.38\\\\b. \ \ H_o:p=0.38\\\ \ \ \ \\H_A:p\neq 0.38

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let, p be the parameter being tested. From the sample, 38% would erase all of their personal information.

-we know that the value of probabilities are in the range [0,1]:

-Given that 38% is the true value of the claim can be symbolically expressed as p=0.5

b. The null hypothesis usually represents the true value parameter under study.

-As stated above, the true value of the parameter is 38%;

-Hence, the null hypothesis is H_o:p=0.38

#Alternative hypothesis is the control value, given the value of the parameter  p=0.38, the alternative hypothesis is that p has a different value other than 0.39:

H_A:p\neq 0.38

Which complex number has an absolute value of 5?<br> –3 + 4i<br> 2 + 3i<br> 7 – 2i<br> 9 + 4
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 + 4i

value = square( (-3)^2 + (4i)^2 ) = sqr(9 + 16) = sqr(25) = 5

The absolute value is like the Pythagoras theorem
