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”

Which describes an isometric transformation? dilation/ rotation/ side length change/ angle change
Westkost [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"Isometric" means all measures stay the same.

  • dilation changes all lengths
  • <em>rotation changes no measures -- an isometric transformation</em>
  • side length change obviously changes the length of a side
  • angle change obviously changes the measure of an angle

Please help me with math please, they are number lines
Novay_Z [31]
So u have to rearrange to find x again
You look at the equation and u can see that if u take away 14 from both sides it will leave u with:
X/-3<-2
Now as x is over - 3, the opposite of divide is multiply, so you multiply both sides by - 3.
This leaves you with your answer:
x<6

So the number line which represents this is C.
