<h3>Answers:</h3><h3>The shortest side is 15 ft</h3><h3>The middle side is 18 ft</h3><h3>The longest side is 26 ft</h3>

===========================================

Define the three sides to be a,b,c such that a < b < c

So c is the longest side, and 'a' is the shortest with b in the middle.

"longest side is 4 ft shorter than twice the shortest side" means that c = 2a-4

"third side is 3 ft longer than the shortest side" so b = a+3

Both b and c are in terms of 'a', allowing us to do substitutions like so

a+b+c = perimeter

a+b+c = 59

a+(a+3)+c = 59 .... first substitution, plug in b = a+3

a+(a+3)+(2a-4) = 59 ... second substitution, plug in c = 2a-4

4a-1 = 59 .... combine like terms

4a = 59+1 ... add 1 to both sides

4a = 60

a = 60/4 ... divide both sides by 4

a = 15

The shortest side is 15 ft

b = a+3 = 15+3 = 18

The middle side is 18 ft

c = 2a-4 = 2*15-4 = 26

The longest side is 26 ft

---------------------

Check:

The three sides should add up to a perimeter of 59 ft

a+b+c = 15+18+26 = 59

so the answer is confirmed

Answer:

Leg_1 = 15\\Leg_2 = 26\\Leg_3 = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Form an equation.

(x)+(2x-4)+(x+3)=59

Combine like terms.

4x-1=59

Add 1 to both sides, then divide both sides by 4.

4x=60\\\\\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{60}{4}\\\\x = 15

Plugin in 15 for x

Leg_1 = 15\\Leg_2 = 2(15)-4=26\\Leg_3 = 15 + 3=18

Given the following exponential function, identify whether the change represents growth or decay, and determine the percentage r
Vitek1552 [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given this function:

y=8700* (1.04)^{4}y=8700∗(1.04)

4

8700 is the initial amount.

1.04 shows the change of original amount. This is decimal form of percentage. We need to transform it into regular percentage.

1.04 * 100% = 104%

Now we observe this number. If it is greater than 100% we have growth, if it is lower than 100% it is decay, and if it is equal to 100% than there is no change.

In our case this number is greater than 100% so we have growth. To determine the percentage rate we must substract 100% as it represents the original amount.

104% - 100% = 4%

This would be our solution if we don't have an exponent.

We have exponent so first step is to calculate the number and then we repeat the steps from above.

1.04^{4} = 1,169858561.04

4

=1,16985856

1,16985856 * 100% ≈ 116,99%

116.99% - 100% = 16.99%

So, final solution is growth of 16.99%

How do i solve this question
alex41 [277]

Answer:

18.18

Step-by-step explanation:

total sum of angle of quadrilateral is 360

70+60+ 7x-4+4x-3=360

160-7 +11x =360

153 +11x =360

11x=360-153

x=207/11

x=18.18
