Answer:

length of the shortest side = 5 inches

length of the longest side is 7 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Hexagon has 6 sides

Let x be the shortest side

length of the longest side is x+2

there are 2 shortest sides and 4 longest sides

To find perimeter we add all the sides

Perimeter = 2(x) + 4(x+2)

38= 2(x) + 4x+8

38=6x+8

Subtract 8 from both sides

30=6x

divide both sides by 6

x=5

length of the shortest side = 5 inches

length of the longest side is 7 inches

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers they rode in the 3 bike trips they took last month. In order, they rode 45.7, 4
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

We are given number of miles the 3 bike trips they took last month = 45.7, 40.9, and 38 miles.

Sam and Bruno were computing how many kilometers.

Also one kilometer equals 0.621 miles.

From this we can see than 1 kilometer is smaller unit and a mile is a larger unit.

In order to convert number of miles into kilometers, we need to divide each number of mile by 0.621 miles.

We always divide a larger value by a smaller value to get the smaller unit.

Therefore,

Bruno is correct. When going from a larger unit to a smaller unit you need to divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hopefully this helped, if not HMU and I will get u a better answer.

On each of five slips of paper, you wrote the words eggs, waffles, pancakes, fruit, and muffin. Every day, you choose one slip f
Luda [366]
The answer is 1/5, or 0.2, because if you're always putting the slip back in, then there will always by 5 slips to choose from, therefore making the probability 1 out of 5. I hope this helps!

Find the equation of the line with a slope of 12 that passes through the point (3, -1)
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

y = 12x - 37

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

here m = 12, thus

y = 12x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = 36 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 36 = - 37

y = 12x - 37 ← is the equation of the line
