<u>ANSWER: </u>

After changing the side lengths of the triangle are decreased by scale factor of 3, the perimeter of triangle also decreased by 3

<u>SOLUTION:</u>

Given, the side lengths of a triangle are decreased by a scale factor of 3.

Let the side lengths of the given triangle be a, b, c.

After the side lengths are decreased by a scale factor of 3.

Now, the side lengths will become  \frac{a}{3} , \frac{b}{3} , \frac{c}{3}

Before changing the side lengths, perimeter of the triangle is p =  a + b + c.

After changing the side lengths, perimeter of the triangle is \frac{a}{3}+\frac{b}{3}+\frac{c}{3}

=\frac{a+b+c}{3}

=\frac{p}{3}

So, the perimeter is also decreased by the scale factor of 3.

Hence, after changing the side lengths of the triangle are decreased by scale factor of 3, the perimeter of triangle also decreased by 3.

What is the solution to 5a-15+9a=3a+29
pogonyaev

5a-15+9a=3a+29

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

5a-15+9a=3a+29

We move all terms containing a to the left and all other terms to the right.

+5a+9a-3a=+29+15

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+11a=+44

We divide both sides of the equation by 11 to get a.

a=4

The length of a rectangle is three times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 192 ft^2, find its perimeter
Blababa [14]
Answer: 64 feet.

Explanation:
Perimeter formula: 2l + 2w
Area formula: l•w
Length = 3w
Area = 192 ft^{2}
192 = (3w) • w 
192 = 3w^{2}
192 ÷ 3 = 3w^{2} ÷ 3
64 = w^{2} 
\sqrt{64} = \sqrt{ w^{2} }
8 = w 

Width = 8
Length = 3(8) = 24 
Perimeter = 2(24) + 2(8) = 64 feet.

If f(x) = (3x + 8)/(2x - A) and f(0) = -2, what is the value of A?
Mrac [35]
Using the given info, we can determine that
(3(0) + 8) \div (2(0) - a) =  - 2
simplify
8  \div  - a =  - 2
multiply both sides by -a
and divide each side by -2
4 = a
A = 4
