Let the shortest side be x.  Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.

Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x  +  (x+1) + (x+2) 

This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).

Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
      or:        3x + 3         = 4x -1                 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
                                                                  3 = x - 1

x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6

The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.

What is the length of EF in the triangle? Show your work. HELP!
Zinaida [17]

The length of EF in the given triangle is 8.80 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the given triangle, the opposite side's length is 16.2 m, the adjacent side's length is x m while the triangle's hypotenuse measures 16.2 m units.

The angle given is 90°, this makes the triangle a right-angled triangle.

So first we calculate the angle of E and use that to find x.

Step 2:

As we have the values of the length of the opposite side and the hypotenuse, we can calculate the sine of the angle to determine the value of the angle of E.

sinE = \frac{oppositeside}{hypotenuse}  =\frac{13.6}{16.2} = 0.8395.

E = sin^{-1} (0.8395), E = 57.087.

So the angle E of the triangle DEF is 57.087°.

Step 3:

As we have the values of the angle and the hypotenuse, we can calculate the cos of the angle to determine x.

cos E = \frac{adjacentside}{hypotenuse} = \frac{x}{16.2} .

cos(57.087) = 0.5433, x = 16.2 (0.5433) = 8.8014.

Rounding this off to the nearest hundredth, we get x = 8.80 m.

a triangle has perimeter 38cm. a square has perimeter 48cm. two sides of the shapes are put together to make a pentagon. what is
melomori [17]

Answer:

perimeter of Pentagon is 62 CM

perimeter of triangle is equal to 38 CM

perimeter of square is equal to 48 CM

therefore perimeter of one side of square is 48 divided by 4 is equal to 12 CM

perimeter of Pentagon is 62 CM
