Answer:

The length of side 3 is 5.67 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has three sides. The x represents the length of side 2.

  • Side 1= x-4
  • Side 2= x
  • Side 3= x-4+3 = x-1

The total perimeter (P) of the triangle is 15.

P=S1+S2+S3

15=x-4+x+x-1

15=3x-5

15+5=3x

20=3x

20/3=x

x=6.67 (Length of side 2)

S3= x-1

S3=6.67-1

S3=5.67 inches

Check:

S1= x-4 = 6.67-4 = 2.67

S2= x=6.67

S3=x-4+3=x-1=5.67

P=S1+S2+S3

P=2.67+6.67+5.67

P=15

Start by representing the lengths of the three sides of your triangle:

first side:  x-4 (inches)
second side:  x (inches)
third side:  (x-4) + 3 (inches)

Add these three quantities up to obtain a formula for the perimeter, and set your sum equal to the given perimeter (15 inches):

x-4  +  x  +  x-4  -3  =  15

3x-11=15
3x=26
x=26/3

Thus, the length of the 2nd side is 26/3; that of the first side is 26/3-4, or 14/3; and that of the third side is 14/3+3, or 23/3 (all measurements in inches).

Suppose a triangle has sides a, b, and c, and let theta be opposite the side of length a. If cos theta < 0, what must be true
katrin2010 [14]
If \cos \theta\ \textless \ 0, then angle \theta is obtuse and triangle with sides a, b, c is obtuse triangle.
In an arbitrary triangle can be only one obtuse angle, and the side which lies opposite to the largest angle is the largest. Then since <span>angle \theta is opposite the side of length a</span>  you can conclude that a>c and a>b.

The original sale price of an item at markdowns is $110.95. You have an additional 20% off coupon for markdowns for purchases to
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

$22.19

Step-by-step explanation:

20% off the original price = $110.95 - (20% x $110.95)

20% x $110.95 = $22.19

$110.95 - $22.19 = $88.76

difference = $110.95 - $88.76 = $22.19

Please help me I will give you extra points and the brain thing
vovangra [49]

Answer:

A. n = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

S = n² + n

When S = 30:

                                                       n² + n = 30

Subtract 30 from both sides:  n² + n - 30 = 0

Factorize:                               (n - 5)(n + 6) = 0

Therefore                                                 n = 5 or -6

As n > 2, then n = 5 only

7. What is the slope of the line that passes through the pair of points (3, 8) and (9, 5) ? (1 point)
agasfer [191]
7. D
8. D
9. D
10.C

for 7 & 8 you use the equation
\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}
your points are (3,8) & (9,5)

so you plug the numbers in
y2= 5
y1=8

x2=9
x1=3
you subtract them get a fraction and that is your slope


9 & 10
use the equation
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
plug you numbers in for y1 and x2 m is your slope plug it in and that is your equation
