So, let's start off with what you know. 
You know that <span>the perimiter of the triangle is 42 yards.
You know that the first side is 5 yards less than the second.
You know that the third side is 2 yards less than the first.
So, we can make the second side x.
We come up with something like this : 

Second Side : x
First Side : x-5
Third Side : x-7

Now we make an equation.

x+x+x-5-7 = 42
3x-12 = 42
    +12    +12
3x      =  54
     3x = 54
       x = 18
So the second side is 18 yards.
Then we can find the First side.
First side is 13 yards.
Then the third side.
The Third side is 11 yards.
So the lengths are : 

First Side : 13 Yards
Second Side : 18 Yards
Third Side : 11 Yards.

I hope I was able to help!</span>

Pizzas come in 4 different sizes, each with or without a choice of 5 toppings. How many ways are there to order a pizza?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

There are 20 ways the pizza can be ordered.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choices available in Sizes = 4

Choices available is toppings = 5

Since these choices are mutually exclusive,

So, by the PERMUTATION RULE

Number of ways a pizza can be ordered is :  4  x  5  = 20

So, there are 20 ways the pizza can be ordered.

Write an equation of the hyperbola given that the center is at (2, -3), the vertices are at (2, 3) and (2, - 9), and the foci ar
zavuch27 [327]
Check the picture below.

so, the hyperbola looks like so, clearly a = 6 from the traverse axis, and the "c" distance from the center to a focus has to be from -3±c, as aforementioned above, the tell-tale is that part, therefore, we can see that c = 2√(10).

because the hyperbola opens vertically, the fraction with the positive sign will be the one with the "y" in it, like you see it in the picture, so without further adieu,

\bf \textit{hyperbolas, vertical traverse axis }&#10;\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y- k)^2}{ a^2}-\cfrac{(x- h)^2}{ b^2}=1&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;center\ ( h, k)\\&#10;vertices\ ( h,  k\pm a)\\&#10;c=\textit{distance from}\\&#10;\qquad \textit{center to foci}\\&#10;\qquad \sqrt{ a ^2 + b ^2}\\&#10;asymptotes\quad  y= k\pm \cfrac{a}{b}(x- h)&#10;\end{cases}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------

\bf \begin{cases}&#10;h=2\\&#10;k=-3\\&#10;a=6\\&#10;c=2\sqrt{10}&#10;\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{[y- (-3)]^2}{ 6^2}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ b^2}=1&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies (2\sqrt{10})^2=6^2+b^2\implies 2^2(\sqrt{10})^2=36+b^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;4(10)=36+b^2\implies 40=36+b^2\implies 4=b^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt{4}=b\implies 2=b\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 2^2}=1\implies \cfrac{(y+3)^2}{ 36}-\cfrac{(x- 2)^2}{ 4}=1
