The second side of a triangular deck is 4 feet longer than the shortest side

(s+4) = the 2nd side

and a third side that is 4 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side.

(2s-4) = the 3rd side

If the perimeter of the deck is 48 ​feet, what are the lengths of the three​ sides?

s + (s+4) + (2s-4) = 48

Combine like terms

s + s + 2s + 4 - 4 = 48

4s = 48

s = 48/4

s = 12 ft is the shortest side

I'll let you find the 2nd and 3rd sides, ensure they add up to 48

Hope this helps!

Suppose ΔXYZ is given, and you want to construct ΔABC so that the triangles are congruent. Which constructions would guarantee t
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A: constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, and CA ≅ ZX

C: constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, CA ≅ ZX, and ∠A ≅ ∠X

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the ways of constructing a triangle

- There are 3 ways to construct a triangle

# You must have length of one side and measures of two angles which

  are the endpoint of the side

# You must have a length of two sides and the measure of the including

  angle between the two sides

# You must have the length of the 3 sides

* Lets solve the problem

∵ Δ XYZ ≅ Δ ABC

∴ XY = AB , YZ = BC , ZX = CA

∴ m∠ X = m∠ A , m∠ Y = m∠ B , m∠ Z = m∠ C

- To construct Δ ABC You can use:

# The length of the 3 sides

∵ AB ≅ XY , BC ≅ YZ , CA ≅ ZX

∴ constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, BC ≅ YZ, and CA ≅ ZX ⇒ A

# The length of two sides and the measure of the including angle

∵ AB ≅ XY , CA = ZX

∵ The including angles between the sides are ∠A and ∠X

∴ constructing ΔABC so that AB ≅ XY, CA ≅ ZX, and ∠A ≅ ∠X ⇒ C

# The length of one side and the measures of two angles which are

   the endpoints of the side

∵ CA ≅ ZX

∵ The end points are C , A and Z , X

∴ constructing ΔABC so that CA ≅ ZX, ∠A ≅ ∠X, and ∠C ≅ ∠Z

- But this answer not in the choices

∴ The answer is A and C
