Answer:

<em>The length of the longest side is 18 m.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = length of the second side.

Then the length of the first side is x - 9.

The length of the third side is 3(x - 9).

Add the three lengths and set equal to the perimeter.

x + x - 9 + 3(x - 9) = 39

2x - 9 + 3x - 27 = 39

5x - 36 = 39

5x = 75

x = 15   (second side)

x - 9 = 15 - 9 = 6  (first side)

3(x - 9) = 3(15 - 9) = 3(6) = 18   (third side)

Answer:

Longest side is 18 m

Step-by-step explanation:

1st side : x -9

3rd : 3(x-9)

If perimeter is 39, then, x + (x-9) + 3(x-9) = 39

5x -36 = 39

5x = 75

x = 15

Therefore,

1st side = 6

2nd side = 15

3rd side = 18

Find the possible value or values of y in the quadratic equation z^2 - 4z+ 4 =0
jeyben [28]
Didn't you mean "Find the possible value or values of z?  y is not at all present in this equation.

z^2 - 4z + 4 = 0 can be factored into (z-2)(z-2).  Thus, the given equation has two equal, real solutions:  z=2 and z=-2.

In the diagram below, KL = 12 and LM = 8. Which additional facts would guarantee that JKLM is a parallelogram? Check all that ap
salantis [7]
I don't know the last point, but I'm going to assume it's N.
MN = 12 and KN = 8.
That would make this a rectangle.
All angles add up to 360.

How can we factorise the expression: 2x^6+17x^3+8?​
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

(a + 2)( {a}^{2}  - 2a +  4 )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^6+17x^3+8 \\  = 2x^6+16x^3 +  {x}^{3} +8 \\  =  2{x}^{3} ( {x}^{3}  + 8) + 1( {x}^{3}  + 8) \\  = ( {x}^{3}  + 8)(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1) \\  = ( {x}^{3}  +  {2}^{3} )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)  \\  = (a + 2)( {a}^{2}  - 2a +  {2}^{2} )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)   \\  = (a + 2)( {a}^{2}  - 2a +  4 )(2 {x}^{ 3}  + 1)  \\

What is the value of x and the length of segment DE?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Part 1) x=6.6\ units

Part 2) DE=16.2\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) Find the value of x

we know that

Triangles CDF and FDE are similar

therefore

The ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional and its corresponding angles are congruent

so

CD/FD=FD/DE

\frac{5}{9}=\frac{9}{2x+3} \\ \\5*(2x+3)=9*9\\ \\10x+15=81\\ \\10x= 81-15\\ \\10x=66\\ \\ x=6.6\ units

Part 2) Find the length of DE

DE=2x+3

substitute the value of x

DE=2(6.6)+3=16.2\ units
