Answer:

The shortest side is 3”

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we can observe that we have 3 sides of a triangle which are not equal in length. These sides are the long, medium and short.

We now have some mathematical statements according to the question.

Since these statements are referencing the short side, let’s start from there.

Let the length of the short side be x. The medium side is 4” more than the short side. This means that the medium side will be the short side plus 4 which mathematically is (x + 4)“. Also, we know that the longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side. This is mathematically equal to 5x.

Lastly, we are made to know that the perimeter of the triangle is 25”. The perimeter of a triangle can be obtained by adding all the lengths together. This means that:

x + x +4 + 5x = 25

7x + 4 = 25

7x = 25 - 4

7x = 21

x = 21/7

x = 3”

Andrew

Let's say Bailey takes "b" days to paint it.

and Andrew takes "a" days to paint the same house.

now, Andrew is 6 times faster than Bailey, therefore, if Andrew takes "a" days to do it, Bailey takes then "6a" days, or b = 6a.

now, the year they worked together, they finished it in 7 days.

so, after 1 day then, they have only done 1/7 of the whole work.

and Andrew for one day, has done 1/a of the house, whilst Bailey has done 1/b of the house or 1/(6a).

\bf \stackrel{\textit{Andrew's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{a}}+\stackrel{\textit{Bailey's rate}}{\cfrac{1}{b}}=\stackrel{\textit{1 day of work}}{\cfrac{1}{7}}
\\\\\\
\cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a}=\cfrac{1}{7}\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{let's multiply all by }\stackrel{LCD}{42a}\textit{ to toss the}\\
denominators
\end{array}

\bf 42a\left( \cfrac{1}{a}+\cfrac{1}{6a} \right)=42a\left( \cfrac{1}{7} \right)\implies 42+7=6a\implies \cfrac{49}{6}=a
\\\\\\
\stackrel{days}{8\frac{1}{6}}=a
\\\\\\
\textit{how many days will it take Bailey then?}\quad b=6a
\\\\\\
b=6\cdot \cfrac{49}{6}\implies b=\stackrel{days}{49}

If ab = 20 cm and bc = 4 cm, then what are the possible lengths for ac so that ab, bc and ac can form a triangle?
telo118 [61]
16<ac<24
If it is less than 16 it will not form a triangle and if it is more than 24 the other two legs will not be larger than ac is.
