Hey there!

First, let the unknown number mentioned be represented by the variable "x".

Now, since 69 is being decreased by a number identified as "twice" a number (x), you know that some number is being subtracted from 69. In addition, the number is twice an unknown value, x.

This would be represented by the algebraic expression:

69 - 2x

Hope this helps!

A triangle has an area of 35 square inches. the length of one of the sides it 10 inches. what is the length of the perimeter? in

Serggg [28]

The perimeter would be about 34.4 because if you choose the bottom side to be ten, by multiplying 35 by 2 to get 70 you can divide by 10 to get 7. Since you know the height and width, you can use pythagorean theorem, a^2 + b^2 = c^2. Plug in the numbers you have 10^2+7^2=c^2. c^2=149, so if you square root 149 you will get a irrational number but when rounded you get 12.2- so that is one side multiply by 2 and get 24.4- and add 10 to get 34.4

The sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. Find the length of the shortest side of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9

Georgia [21]

Answer:

9 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that length of smaller side is x.

We have been given that the sides of a quadrilateral are 3, 4, 5, and 6. We are asked to find the length of the shortest side of a similar quadrilateral whose area is 9 times as great.

We know that sides of similar figures are proportional. When the proportion of similar sides of two similar figures is $\frac{m}{n}$ , then the proportion of their area is $\frac{m^2}{n^2}$ .
