Answer:

The sides of the triangle are:

Second side = 60 cm

First side = 55 cm

Third side = 50 cm

The perimeter equation can be given as:

4s-75=165

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Perimeter of triangle = 165 cm

First side = 65 cm less than twice the second side

Third side = 10 cm less than the second side

To find length of each side and write the equation that represents the perimeter of triangle.

Solution:

Let length of second side be = s cm

First side will be given as = (2s-65) cm

Third side will be given as =  (s-10) cm

Perimeter of triangle = Sum of all sides

Thus, perimeter can be given as:

⇒ First\ side+ Second\ side+Third\ side

⇒ 2s-65+s+s-10

Simplifying by combining like terms.

⇒ 4s-75

We know the perimeter of triangle = 165 cm

So, the perimeter equation can be given as:

4s-75=165

Solving for s.

Adding 75 both sides.

4s-75+75=165+75

4s=240

Dividing both sides by 4.

\frac{4s}{4}=\frac{240}{4}

s=60

Thus, the sides of the triangle are:

Second side = 60 cm

First side = 2(60)-65 = 55 cm

Third side = 60-10 = 50 cm

A function has a discriminant of 25.<br> How many x-intercepts does it have?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the value of the discriminant is positive, there are two real solutions for x, meaning the graph of the solution has two distinct x-intercepts

Here 25 is positive discriminant, hence the function will have 2 x - intercepts

Solve for x please for 10 points
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

\frac{x-2}{2+1}=\frac{4x-5}{3}

\frac{x-2}{3} =\frac{4x-5}{3}

3*\frac{x-2}{3} =\frac{4x-5}{3}*3

x-2=4x-5

x-2+5=4x-5+5

x-x+3=4x-x

3=3x

\frac{3}{3} =\frac{3x}{3}

1=x

What is the value of x<br> What is the value of the exterior angle
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

???????

Step-by-step explanation:

triangles add to 180 degrees

lets call the unknown angle y

82 + x + y = 180

we also know that y + (2x-20 ) = 180  because it is a straight line

lets solve this for y

y + (2x-20 ) = 180

subtract (2x-20) from each side

y = 180 - (2x-20)

y = 180 - 2x + 20

y = 200 -2x

substitute this in the triangle equation

82 + x + y = 180

82 + x + 200 -2x = 180

combine like terms

282 -x = 180

subtract 282 from each side

-x = -102

multiply by -1 on each side

x = 102

the exterior angle is 2x-20

exterior angle is 2(102) -20

exterior angle is 204-20

exterior angle is 184

This is impossible.


There is a mistake with this problem

The triangle is not a triangle.  Angle y would be negative. y=-4

A right triangle has a leg b of length 7 and a hypotenuse of length 11 what is the length of the other leg a?
N76 [4]
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 7^2 = 11^2
49= 121
121 - 49 = 72

Square root(72) = 8.49
or you can just keep the square root symbol with 72 under it
