Answer:

The smallest side is 7inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the shorter side be y.

The medium side is 4 more than the short side i.e

Meduim side = 4 + y

The longest side is 5 times the length of the shortest side i.e

Logest side = 5y.

Perimeter of the triangle = 53 inches

But the perimeter of a triangle is the Sum of all sides i.e

P = small + medium + large

53 = y + (4+y) + 5y

53 = y + 4 + y + 5y

Collect like terms

53 — 4 = 7y

49 = 7y

Divide both side by 7

y = 49/7

y = 7inches

Therefore the smallest side is 7inches

Six equilateral triangles are connected to create a regular hexagon. The area of the hexagon is 24a^2 – 18 square units. Which i

netineya [11]

we know that

The area of the hexagon is equal to the sum of the areas of the six equilateral triangles

Let

x-------> area of one equilateral triangle

$6x=24a^{2} -18$

Divide by $6$ both sides

$x=4a^{2} -3$ -------> area of one equilateral triangle

To find an equivalent expression for the area of the hexagon based on the area of a triangle, multiply the area of one equilateral triangle by $6$

$6*(4a^{2} -3)$

therefore

the answer is

The equivalent expression is equal to $6*(4a^{2} -3)$

Answer:

4 11/16 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle = Length × Width

From the question:

Length = 1 1/4 m

Width = 3 3/4m

Area of the rectangle =

1 1/4 m × 3 3/4 m

= 5/4 m × 15/4 m

= 75/16 m²

= 4 11/16 m²

Area of the rectangle = 4 11/16 m²
