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>

Answer:

$4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the cost of the spool of thread from the total price:

22.75 - 1.50

= 21.25

Then, divide this by 5 to find the cost of fabric per yard:

= 4.25

So, the cost of the fabric per yard is $4.25

which pair of ratios forms a proportion? hint: check for cross products. a. 6/9=9/12 b. 8/16=10/21 c. 6/15=10/25 d. 4/14=6/27
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

  c. 6/15 = 10/25

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the hint, we can form the cross products of the offered choices:

a.  6(12) vs 9(9) ⇒ 72 vs 81 . . . not a proportion

b.  8(21) vs 16(10) ⇒ 168 vs 160 . . . not a proportion

c.  6(25) vs 15(10) ⇒ 150 vs 150 . . . IS A PROPORTION

d.  4(27) vs 14(6) ⇒ 108 vs 84 . . . not a proportion

__

The cross products are the same for choice C, so that is a pair of ratios that form a proportion:

  6/15 = 10/25
