Let the first number be = x

Then the second number = 2x

The third number = 2x - 5

Their sum = 55

This can be written in an equation as =

x + 2x + 2x - 5 = 55

= x + 2x + 2x = 55 + 5 ( transposing -5 from LHS to RHS changes -5 to +5 )

= x + 2x + 2x = 60

= 5x = 60

= x = 60 ÷ 5 ( transposing ×5 from LHS to RHS changes ×5 to ÷5 )

= x = 12

The first number = x = 12

The second number = 2x = 2 × 20 = 24

The third number = 2x - 5 = 24 - 5 = 19

Therefore , the three numbers are 12 , 24 and 19 .

All sides of an equilateral triangle are equal, so all three sides are 9 cm.
To find h, use the pythagorean theorem. This requires use of only one right triangle, where we use b as our h.

a^2+b^2=c^2
(4.5)^2+b^2=(9)^2
(20.25)+b^2=(81)
b^2=(81/20.25) or 4
square root both sides
b=2
