A triangular section of land is fenced off due to contamination. Two sides of the triangle are each 16 meters ( 16m) longer than

the third side.
If 122m of fencing is used to enclose the area, what is the length of the shortest side, in meters?

Answer: the shortest side is 30m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side be a meters

If side 2 is 16m longer than the shortest side, then it is (16+a)meters.

The same goes with side 3.

Then,

a + (16+a) + (16+a) = 122m

32 + 3a = 122m

Collecting like terms together,

3a = 122 - 32

3a = 90

Divide by coefficient of a

3a/3 = 90/3

a = 30 meters

Check:

30 + (16+30) + (16+30)

30 + 46 + 46 = 112

Answer:

Shortest side = 30 m long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shortest side be x meters long.

The other 2 sides are both  x + 16 m.

The perimeter is 122 m so

x + 2(x + 16) = 122

x + 2x + 32 = 122

3x = 122 - 32

3x =  90

x = 30 m.

The following table gives the science scores and times spent studying for 10 students:
AveGali [126]
There appears to be a positive correlation between the number of hour spent studydng and the score on the test.

When identifying the independent and dependent quantities, we think about what would cause the other to change.  The score on the test would not cause the number of hours spent studying to change; rather, the number of hours spent studying would cause the score to change.  This means that the number of hours studying would be the independent quantity and the score would be the dependent quantity.

Plotting the graph with the time studying on the x-axis (independent) and the score on the y-axis (dependent) gives you the graph shown.  You can see in the image that there seems to be a positive correlation; the data seem to generally be heading upward.

Is (6,7) a solution to the inequality 15x+11y>12
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

(6,7) is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (6,7) is a solution, we substitute the point in and see if the inequality is true

15x+11y>12

15(6) + 11(7) >12

90+77 > 12

167>12

This is true so (6,7) is a solution
