X + 2x + (13 + x) = 29
3x + x + 13 = 29
4x = 29 - 13
4x = 16
x = 16/4
x = 4

The length of the shortest side is 4 ft

Answer:

The shortest side is 4 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the border of a geometric figure and corresponds to the sum of the length of all its sides.

So the perimeter in the case of a triangle is the sum of its three sides:

L₁ + L₂ + L₃ =Perimeter

In this case, the perimeter is known and it is necessary to calculate the value of the shortest side. In that case it will be called L₁. So, you know:

  • L₁= shortest side
  • L₂=twice the length of the shortest side → L₂=2*L₁
  • L₃=largest side (13 feet more than the shortest side) → L₃=L₁ + 13
  • Perimeter= 29 feet

Replacing:

L₁ + 2*L₁ + L₁ + 13= 29

Solving:

(1+2+1)*L₁ + 13= 29

4*L₁ + 13=29

4*L₁ = 29-13

4*L₁ =16

L₁= 16÷4

L₁=4

<u><em>The shortest side is 4 feet.</em></u>

Shtirlitz [24]
The answer would be: <span>√x+3=13

</span>A radical equation is an equation with at least one variable put on a radical form. In this question, there is only one kind of variable which is x. Then, you need to find the equation where x is in the radical form. The radical form can be expressed with square root symbol.
The option with √x would be only <span>√x+3=13

in 2011, an Action Comics no. 1, featuring first appearance of superman, was sold at auction for $2,161,000. The comic book was
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Price of book in 1938 = $ 0.10

Price of book in 2011 = $ 2,161,000

Number of years over 1938-2011 = 2011 - 1938 = 73

Annual increase in the price = ((\frac{\text{Price of book in 2011}}{\text{Price of book in 1938}}) ^ \frac{1}{\text{Number of years}} - 1 ) * 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = ((\frac{2,161,000}{0.1}) ^ \frac{1}{73} - 1 ) * 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = (1.260302283  - 1 ) × 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = 0.260302283 × 100

⇒ Annual increase in the price = 26.0302283 %

⇒ Annual increase in the price = 26%

Hence, the comic book price increased by 26% annually

Wal-Mart is selling 12 highligters for $5.47. What is the unit price of the highlighters? (round the price to the nearest hundre
BaLLatris [955]

To be able to quickly solve this, we can temporarily make 5.47 into 547

Now, we can divide 547 by 12.

547 / 12 = 45.5

Now, we can round up from 45.5 to get 46.

However, we originally moved our decimal 2 places over, so now we must move it 2 places again.

46 ⇒ 0.46

The correct answer is $0.46
