Answer:
39
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles are equal. This means that the triangle is equilateral and all the sides are equal to each other.
Set any two sides equal to each other.
2x - 3 = x + 5
x - 3 = 5
x = 8
Now substitute this x value into all the sides and add the numbers up.
2(8) - 3 = 16 - 3 = 13
So we know all 3 sides equal 13.
13 * 3 = 39
Answer:
5 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
20 - 15 = 5
Answer:
B. 550
Step-by-step explanation:
550 is the smallest number that becomes 600 when rounded to the nearest hundred
Let h = amount of hours
Since they earn $7.50 per hour, we can multiply that by an unknown amount of hours to get $116.25. Let's solve:
Divide both sides by 7.5 to isolate the h, amount of hours.
Simplify.
In conclusion, someone would have to work 15.5 hours to earn $116.25 if they earn $7.50 per hour.
Answer: No, we don't have a right triangle
==========================================================
Explanation:
If a triangle with sides a,b,c makes the equation a^2+b^2 = c^2 true, where c is the longest side, then this triangle is a right triangle. This is the converse of the pythagorean theorem.
Here we have a = 2, b = 5 and c = 7.
So...
a^2+b^2 = c^2
2^2+5^2 = 7^2
4+25 = 49
29 = 49
The last equation is false, so the first equation is false for those a,b,c values. Therefore, we do <u>not</u> have a right triangle.
------------
In contrast, consider the classic 3-4-5 right triangle
a = 3, b = 4 and c = 5 would make a^2+b^2 = c^2 true because 3^2+4^2 = 5^2 is a true equation (both sides lead to 25).
