Perimeter is the sum of all the sides .The given sides are : 10a-4 ,6a+8,6a+8,12a

The given perimeter is 102 .We can form an equation:

10a-4+6a+8+6a+8+12a=102

Adding like terms :

34a +12=102

Subtracting 12 both sides:

34a= 90

Dividing by 34 both sides:

a=-2.65.

The given sides are :

6a+8= 23.9

12a= 31.8

10a-4=22.5

Among these 31.8 is the largest side .

So the side having 12 a length is largest.

$\frac{9}{56}\\$ Fraction of hour was spent by NAncy in lifting weights

Step-by-step explanation:

Time spent at the gym by Nancy = $\frac{7}{8}\,hour$

Time spent at lifting weights = $\frac{5}{7}\,hour$

What fraction of hour she spent in lifting weights?

Solving:

Fraction of hour she spent in lifting weights= Time spend at the gym-Time spent at lifting weights

Fraction of hour she spent in lifting weights= $\frac{7}{8}\,hour-\frac{5}{7}\,hour$

$=\frac{49}{56}-\frac{40}{56}\\=\frac{49-40}{56}\\=\frac{9}{56}\\$

So, $\frac{9}{56}\\$ Fraction of hour was spent by Nancy in lifting weights

Answer: 95 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the horizontal run be represented by x.

Slope Grade = (Rise/Run) × 100

20 = (19/x) × 100

20 = 1900/x

20x = 1900

x = 1900/20

x = 95

Therefore, the length of the horizontal run must be 95 feet
