Answer:12cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio are:

4:6:9

Perimeter=57cm

Let a be the unknown value.

The triangle has three sides: 4a, 6a, 9a

Perimeter=The sum of three sides

57=4a + 6a +9a

57=19a

Divide both side by 19

a=57/19

a=3

Therefore

4a:6a:9a

4×3:6×3:9×3

12:18:27

So the shortest side is 12cm

Evaluate this expression for a = 2 and b = 3

harina [27]

Aidan, please use more parentheses so that there's no question about what's being divided by what.

I am unsure whether the final " /a " indicates division of (b+3) by a or division of the entire expression before " /a " by a.

Here is the way I'm going to interpret your math problem:
b 2(b+3)
a+5 - ------ + ---------
b-4 a

Subbing 2 for a and 3 for b, we get
3 2(3+3)
2 + 5 - --------- + -------------
3-4 2
12
This comes out to 7 + 3 + ------ = 10+6 = 16

What is 9,750,000,000 in scientific notation

Brums [2.3K]

Hey there mate!

So, when doing this kind of notation (scientific notation), this is pretty much like braking down the number,and trying to make it more simple.

$\boxed{9,750,000,000} \ in \ scientific \ notation... \\ \\ \Longrightarrow\boxed{\boxed{9.75*10^9}} \Longleftarrow$

I hope this helps you! :)
