The answer is:
a = c ÷ 2
b = P - a - c

The perimeter is the sum of all sides of a polygon. The perimeter of the triangle is:
P = a + b + c
where
P - perimeter of the triangle,
a, b, c - sides of the triangle.

It is given: 
P = 14.5 cm
c = 6.2 cm

If, t<span>he longest side (c) is twice that of the shortest side (a), then
c = 2a
</span><span>Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the length of the shortest side is <u>a = c ÷ 2</u>.</span><span>

</span>⇒ a = c ÷ 2 = 6.2 cm ÷ 2
⇒ a = 3.1 cm

By knowing two sides (c and a) and perimeter (P), we can calculate the length of the third side (b).
If P = a + b + c, then <span>the equation that can be used to find the length of the side b is <u>b = P - a - c</u>.

</span>⇒ b = P - a - c = 14.5 cm - 6.2 cm - 3.1 cm
⇒ b = 5.2 cm<span>
</span>

Describe a situation that is defined by the linear equation P = 40 + 22t.
sashaice [31]

The situation that is defined by the linear equation P = 40 + 22t is "The initial amount is 40 and the rate of change is 22".

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

Given:

P = 40 + 22t

where,

  • P = total price
  • 40 = initial amount
  • 22 = rate of change
  • t = number of rate of change

So,

if t = 3

P = 40 + 22t

= 40 + 22(3)

= 40 + 66

P = 106

Therefore, the initial amount is 40 and the rate of change is 22 describes the linear equation P = 40 + 22t

I need to know what goes in each box.<br> :)<br> 20 points
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

3/12 = 4/12

or

3/12 = 1/3

being are last boxes to autofill.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/12 +1/4 = 1/12 + 3/12 = 4.12 = 1/3

When adding the rule of fractions is where required make all denominators the same by dividing the one you want to change to- by the subset one you are changing.

12 / 4 = 3

we get 3/12

Then when adding same denominators 1/12 + 3/12 we just add the top values. = 4/12

The last box would be 4/12 but if asked to simplify we would automatically enter 1/3 for simplification.

As 4/12 = 1/3

Which of the following are exterior angles? Check all that apply.
cestrela7 [59]
Exterior angles are found along the outside of the figure if you extend the figure's side lengths.

The exterior angles in the image would be 4 and 5.

6 isn't an angle, and all of the other options are found on the inside of the triangle (1,2 and 3).
