Answer:

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the measure of the shortest side

y ---> the measure of the middle side

z ---> the measure of the longest side

we know that

The perimeter of triangle is equal to

P=x+y+z

P=3,067\ mi

so

3,067=x+y+z ----> equation A

the shortest side measures 71 mi less than the middle side

so

x=y-71 ----> equation B

the longest side measures 372 mi more the the middle side

so

z=y+372 ----> equation C

substitute equation B and equation C in equation A

3,067=(y-71)+y+(y+372)

solve for y

3,067=3y+301\\3y=2,766\\y=922

Find the value of x

x=y-71\\x=922-71\\x=851

therefore

The measure of the shortest side is 851 miles

I don’t understand how to do this? please help

Answer:

K = -72

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Get K/9 by itself to do so add 3 to both sides eliminating it on the left by turning the -11 into -8

2. Multiply by 9 on both sides eliminating the division of 9 on the left and turning -8 into -72 leaving the equation as K = -72

To eliminate a number you must do its opposite so the opposite of -3 is +3 so you +3 to both sides. And always start the equation by eliminating what is not connected to the variable in this case the 9 was connected to the variable as K/9.

Help with the following problem please
Effectus [21]
Given:
The largest circle has a radius of R=7 units.
Let x be the radius of the large shaded circle.
The small shaded circles have a radius of 1/5 of the large shaded circle.
=> the small shaded circles have a radius of r=x/5

By adding up radii, we have the equation
2(r+x+r)=2(x/5+x+x/5)=2R=2*7=14
Simplify:
7x/5=14/2
x=5
=> r=1

Area of outer circle                  = \pi R^2=\pi7^2=49\pi
Area of large shaded circle      = \pi x^2=\pi5^2=25\pi
Area of 4 small shaded circles = 4\pi r^2=4\pi1^2=4\pi
Total area of shaded circles     =25\pi+4\pi=29\pi

Shaded area as a fraction of that of the outer circle 
=\frac{29\pi}{49\pi}=29/49
