Answer:

The shortest side has length 24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Try this:  3x + 4x + 5x =96 ft, or        

               12x = 96 ft

Then x = (96 ft) / 12, or x = 8

Multiplying this factor 8 by 3, we get 24.  The shortest side has length 24 ft.

The middle-length side is 4(8), or 32.

The longest side is 5(8), or 40.

Check:  Do 40 and 32 and 24 add up to 96 ft?

             do        72        and  24 add up to 96 ft?

                            Yes.

3. What additional information do you need to prove AABC = ADEF by the SAS Postulate?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

∠ACB = ∠DFE

Step-by-step explanation:

In SAS postulate,

S refers to Side.

A refers to Angle.

In the triangles, △ABC and △DEF,

AC = DF ( Side )

CB = FE ( Side )

The additional information required to prove is <u>Angle</u>.

Angle between sides AC and CB in △ABC and Angle between sides CB and FE in △DEF respectively.

Angle between sides AC and CB is ∠ACB.

Angle between sides CB and FE is ∠DFE.

So according to SAS postulate,

∠ACB = ∠DFE

Simply divide 3 by 0.7,

3 \div 0.7 =  \frac{30}{7}  = 4 \frac{2}{7}

Or ≈ 4.28571 which is ≈ 4 years.
