Answer:

One side is 6 (bottom of triangle) and two sides are 8 (two main sides of the triangle)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason this is is because two sides of a regular triangle are the same while one is not. (The bottom of the triangle) So, the bottom is shorter than the sides.

Answer: The possible length of the third side is 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: One of the rules for calculating the side of a triangle in mathematics is the Pythagoras theorem. However, for the Pythagoras theorem to be applied, the triangle must be a right angled triangle. In the question above, we have two sides in a triangle given as 6 inches and 8 inches.

The Pythagoras theorem states that, in any right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (longest side) must be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Hence, AC^2 = BC^2 + AB^2

Where AC is the hypotenuse and BC and AB are the other two sides. We now have,

AC^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

AC^2 = 64 + 36

AC^2 = 100

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

AC = 10.

Therefore the length of the third side measures 10 inches. (This is only possible if the triangle is a right angled triangle)

Alchen [17]
You would divide the cheetahs distance which is 300 feet  by the cheetahs time which is 2.92 seconds 
distance÷time 
300÷2.92= 102.7 seconds or 103 seconds if you round up 
the cheetahs speed is 102.7 seconds or 103 seconds

1. The sum of two numbers is 64. One of the numbers is 16 more than 3 times the other. Find the
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The two numbers are 52 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=64

x=16+3y

Now, substitute the second equation into the first one.

16+3y+y=64

16+4y=64

4y=48

y=12

Substitute 12 into one of the equations in order to find x.

x=16+3(12)

x=16+36

x=52

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

Each girl had $7.50 when they arrived.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to figure out what c (cost of each notebook) is first before we find out how much money each girl had. We also know they have the same money, so both sides are connected. The equation should be: 3x = x + 5.

3x = x + 5

<em>First, subtract x from both sides. This cancels out the addition by x.</em>

3x - x = 5

<em>Now, subtract x from 3x. This equals 2x.</em>

2x = 5

<em>To cancel out the multiplication by 2, divide both sides by 2.</em>

x = 5/2

<em>Lastly, divide 5 by 2 to get 2.5.</em>

x = 2.5

<em>Substitute x for 2.5 in the earlier equation (3x = x + 5)</em>

3(2.5) = 2.5 + 5

<em>First, multiply 3 by 2.5 to get 7.5.</em>

7.5 = 2.5 + 5

<em>Add 2.5 to 5 to get 7.5.</em>

7.5 = 7.5

Both sides are equal so we have our answer. So, both girls had $7.50 when they arrived at the store.
