Let s,\ m\, l be the short, medium and long side, respectively. If we translate all the information into formulas, we get the following system:

\begin{cases} l = 2s\\ m=s+3\\ s+m+l = 27 \end{cases}

Using the second equation, we can express the middle side in terms of the small one, and reduce the system to two equations in two unknowns:

\begin{cases} l = 2s\\ s+(s+3)+l = 27 \end{cases}

And thus

\begin{cases} l = 2s\\2s+l = 24 \end{cases}

But then again, using the first equation, the third becomes

2s+l = 24 \iff l+l = 24 \iff 2l = 24 \iff l=12

So, the longest side is 12. Since the small is half the long, we have s = 6. Finally, the medium is three more of the small, so we have m = 6+3 = 9

Answer:

Shorter side is 6 meters, medium side is 9 meters and longest side is 12 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The longest side of a triangle is two times the shortest side, while the medium side is 3 meters more than the shortest side. The perimeter is 27 meters.

To find: Dimensions of the triangle.

Solution:

Let the smaller side of the rectangle be x meters.

So, larger side is 2x meters

medium side is x+3

It is given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 27 meters.

So, we have

x+2x+x+3=27

\implies 4x+3=27

\implies 4x=27-3

\implies 4x=24

\implies x=\frac{24}{4}

\implies x=6

Hence, shorter side is 6 meters.

longer side is 2(6)=12 meters

medium side is  6+3=9 meters.

Suppose f(x)=x^2-1find the graph of f(3x)
RideAnS [48]
The answer would be f(x)=9 because when you substitue the 3 in for 'x' you then square the 3.
Hope this helps!

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

The factors of 50 are: 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

The factors of 80 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80

The factors of 260 are: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 13, 20, 26, 52, 65, 130, 260

In all of these numbers, we can see that 10 is common throughout and 10 is also the greatest factor all these numbers share.

Hope this helps you :)

Rosey knows that she needs a minimum of $1776 each month to pay all of her expenses. If she works 37 hours a week, with 4 weeks
solong [7]

Answer: $12 an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Rosey works 37 hours a week and 4 weeks in a month.

Total hours are:

= 37 * 4

= 148 hours

In order to at least cover the $1,776 in expenses she incurs every month, Rosey's hourly pay must be:

= expenses / working hours in month

= 1,776 / 148

= $12 an hour
