A person makes a mistake when copying information regarding a particular triangle. The copied information is as follows: Two sid

es of a triangle are the same length. The third side is 10 feet less than three times the length of one of the other sides. The perimeter of the triangle is 5 feet. What is the mistake?

Answer:

  No such triangle can exist. Any of the described relations may be in error.

Step-by-step explanation:

Taken at face value, the sum of the lengths of the sides is ...

  x + x + (3x-10) = 5

  5x = 15

  x = 3

so the third side is 3·3 -10 = -1 in length. No such triangle can exist.

If one side is actually 3x-10, the perimeter must be greater than 6 2/3 and less than 40.

If the perimeter is actually 5, then the third side must be 3x-7.5 or an expression with an even smaller constant.

So, the mistake could be in copying any of the numbers, or in copying the multiplier in the description of the 3rd side. There is insufficient information to tell exactly what the mistake is.

A triangular sail has a base length of 2.5 m the area of the sail is 3.75 m² how tall is the sail
xeze [42]
The answer is:  " 3 m " .   The sail is:  " 3 meters tall". 
_______________________________________________

Area of triangle, "A", equals "(1/2)" * (base) * (height) :
_______________________________________________
  A = (1/2) * b * h ; 
_______________________________________________
Given:  "A = 3.75 m<span>² " ;  AND:
             "b = 2.5 m " ;  
_______________________________________________
Solve for "h"  ;
______________________________
Given:  A =  </span>(1/2) * b * h ; 
______________________________
Rearrange the equation to isolate "h" on one side of the equation;
       Then, plug in the "known values" to solve for, "h" ;
____________________________________________
Given:  A = (1/2) * b * h ;
_______________________
Rewrite as:
_______________________
            A = (b*h) / 2 ;
______________________________________________
Now, multiply EACH side of the equation by "2" ; 
______________________________________________
                 2 *A = { (b*h) / 2 } * 2 ;
______________________________________________
  To get:   2A = b * h ; 
______________________________________________
Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "b", to isolate "h" on one side             of the equation (and ultimately, solve for "h") ;
______________________________________________
               2A / b = (b * h) / b ; 
______________________________________________
  to get:   2A / b = h ;  ↔  h = 2A / b ;
______________________________________________
Now, we have:   h = 2A / b ; plug in the values given for "A" and for "b" ; 
        to solve for "h" ; 
_____________________________________________
    h = [ 2*(3.75 m²) ] / 2.5 m = 7.5 m² / 2.5 m = 3 m.
_____________________________________________
The answer is:  3 m .   The height is:  3 m .

Sabrina borrowed $350000 with a 0.5% interest rate from Bank of America to buy a new condo in orange beach how did it take Sabri
n200080 [17]

Answer:

t = 2466.67 years (about 2466 years 8 months)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total P+I (A) = $350000, Principal (P) = $26250, Rate (R) = 0.5%

To find: How long did it take Sabrina to pay if the loan if she ended up pay $26250 interest?

Formula: t = (1/r)(A/P - 1)

Solution: To calculate your interest rate, you need to know the interest formula I/Pt = r to get your rate

First, converting R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100 = \frac{0.5 percent}{100} = 0.005 per year,

then, solving our equation

t = (1/0.005)((350000/26250) - 1) = 2466.67

t = 2466.67 years

Therefore, it will take Sabrina 2466.67 years (about 2466 years 8 months) to pay off the loan.
