The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side, and the third side is 4 feet shorter than twice th

e length of the shortest side. If the perimeter of the deck is 64 feet, what are the lengths of the three sides?

We don’t know the value of the shorter side, so we will categorize it as x. Side 2 is just 4 feet longer than x, so we would add 4 on to it. Side 3 has double the x, so we would multiply it be 2 for 2x, and subtract the 4 feet from it.

Side 1: x
Side 2: x + 4
Side 3: 2x - 4

If the perimeter is 64 feet, then all of the sides have to add up to it. Therefore, first we add all of the side lengths up:

x + x + 4 + 2x - 4 = 4x.

Now we put 4x, the amount of all these sides added up, equal to the perimeter of 64.

4x = 64. Divide both sides by 4 to get x by itself.
x = 16.

Now that we know x is 16, we will substitute it in for all the side lengths’ equations.

We know that Side 1 was just x, so that will be 16. Since Side 2 was 4 more than x, we’d do 16 + 4 = 20. We substitute 16 in for x in Side 3’s equation: 2(16) - 4 = 32 - 4 = 28.

Therefore, the final lengths of all the sides are:

Side 1: 16
Side 2: 20
Side 3: 28

Solve for X. The Triangles in each pair are similar
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we need to find what the value of x is.

To do so, we need to find the value of the change of the triangle, since the triangles are basically the same

We know to get from 18 to 27, we would need to multiply 18 by 1.5.

This means that the triangle "BCD" is increasing from 1.5 to get "JKL"

With this knowledge, we also know that side CB, 10, needs to increase by 1.5

When you multiply 10 by 1.5, you get 15.

The triangle side "JK" is the same side as "CB", so we need to find what makes the value of 15 for the "JK" side.

To do this, solve 3x-6 for 15.

3x - 6 = 15

Add 6 to both sides.

3x = 21

Divide both sides by 3

x = 7

The x-variable would be 7.
