<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

Answer:

So you first count how much times the numbers go up,then you add the number you get it is 6+ you add them with 13 and you get 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

So you first count how much times the numbers go up,then you add the numbers so 1 is not enough 2 is not enough 3 is not enough 4 is not enough 5 is not enough 6 is enough, so we add the six with the number that we are adding which is 13,then you get 19

A circle is defined by the equation x2 + y2 + 8x + 22y + 37 = 0. What are the coordinates for the center of the circle and the l
inn [45]
We can say that:
8x = -2ax
8 = -2a
a = -4

22y = - 2by
22 = -2b
b = -11

37 = a² + b² - r²
37 = (-4)² + (-11)² - r²
r² = 16 + 121 - 37
r² = 100
r = 10

With all this information, we can say that:
The center of the circle is: (-4 ; -11)
and the radius of the circle is r = 10

P.S:
(a - x)² + (b-y)² = r²
a² - 2ax + x² + b² -2by + y² - r² = 0
x² + y² -2ax - 2by + a² + b² - r² = 0

A water storage tank has the shape of a cylinder with diameter 14 ft. It is mounted so that the circular cross-sections are vert
andrezito [222]

Answer:

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we follow the following steps

1. draw the complete scheme of the problem (see attached image)

2. To solve this problem we must find the area of ​​the circular sector using the following equation.(c in the second attached image)

A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )

\alpha =2arccos(\frac{d}{R})

3. observing the attached images we replace the values ​​in the equations and find the area of ​​the circular sector, remember that you must transform the angle to radians

\alpha =2arccos(\frac{5}{7})=88.83

A=\frac{R^2}{2} (\alpha -sin\alpha )\\A=\frac{7^2}{2} (88.83-sen88.83)*\frac{\pi rad}{180} =37.57ft^2

4.we calculate the area of ​​the total circle (At), then subtract the area of ​​the circular sector (Ac) to find the area occupied by water (Aw)

At=\frac{\pi }{4} (14ft)^2=153.93ft^2

Aw=At-Ac=153.93-37.57=116.36ft^2

5.Finally, we calculate the percentage that represents the water in the tank by dividing the area of ​​the water over the total area of ​​the tank

\frac{116.36}{153.93} *100=75.6

percentage of the total capacity is 75.6%
