If the sides are in the ratio of 11:16:24, it means that they are all multiples of a same number x, according to these factors.
So, the shorter side is 11x feet long, the middle one is 16x feet long, and the longest side is 24x feet long.
This means that the perimeter is
feet long. But we know that this is 510 feet, so we have
.
So, the three sides are 110, 160 and 240 feet long.
To find the area of a triangle knowing its three sides, you can use Heron's formula, which states that, if
is half the perimeter of the triangle whose sides are
, the area
is given by

In our case,
so the formula becomes

Answer:
See proof below
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use properties of inequalities during the proof.
Let
. then we have that
. Hence, it makes sense to define the positive number delta as
(the inequality guarantees that these numbers are positive).
Intuitively, delta is the shortest distance from y to the endpoints of the interval. Now, we claim that
, and if we prove this, we are done. To prove it, let
, then
. First,
then
hence
On the other hand,
then
hence
. Combining the inequalities, we have that
, therefore
as required.
Answer:
56 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of ways is given by n combination r (n!/(n - r)!r!)
n = total number of students = 8, r = the number of summer courses = 3
Number of ways = 8 combination 3 = 8!/(8-3)!3! = 8!/5!3! = 8×7×6×5!/5!×6 = 8×7 = 56 ways
Answer: $400
Step-by-step explanation:
So first you set it up in a equation. You put the amount she put in the bank over x (the x represents her full salary) which equals the percent she already spent over her full salary. That would be 120/x=30/100 you would then cross-multiply to get 12,000 = 30x. you then divide 30 from both sides to get x =400.
