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>

What is the minimum number of angles required to determine the Cartesian components of a 3D vector and why?
Reika [66]

Answer: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3D vector consists of 3 axes, let's say x, y and z.

Now, a vector P lies in all of them.

So, the angle it makes with x axis is α

The angle it makes with y axis is β

The angle it makes with z axis is γ

So, to determine the Cartesian components or to resolve the vector into it's Cartesian components we need 3 angles with each axis.

A rugby team played six games.
Schach [20]

Step-by-step explanation:

mean score means the sum of all 6 scores divided by the number of games : 6.

sum6/6 = 15

sum6 = 15×6 = 90

(sum6 + x)/7 = 16

sum6 + x = 16×7 = 112

90 + x = 112

x = 22

they scored 22 points in the 7th game.

Just help me out with this polynomial i need help <br> { -m^{2} + 6} + { -4m^{2} + 7m + 2} =
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

-5m^2+7m+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we add up two polynomials shown.

The polynomials are:

[-m^2 + 6]+[-4m^2 +7m + 2]

In order to add up the 2 polynomials shown, we have to see the "like terms" and add them up.

We add up the "m^2" terms and the constant (number) terms. There is one term with "m", so we leave it like that. Let's add up. Shown below:\

[-m^2 + 6]+[-4m^2 +7m + 2]\\=-m^2-4m^2+6+2+7m\\=-5m^2+7m+8

This is the sum of the 2 polynomials shown:  -5m^2+7m+8

Simplify the following fraction: 40/56<br> ​
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify by finding common factors and dividing both the numerator and denominator by it.

40/ 56 = 20/28(divided by 2)  = 10 / 14 (divided by 2) = 5/7 ( divided by 2)

Hope this helps.
