To answer this, we let x some factor that would agree or make the ratio given true. We calculate as follows:

<span>2:3:4
2x:3x:4x

2x = 12
x = 6 

Therefore, the length of the longest side would be 4x = 4(6) = 24 cm, third option.</span>

Answer:

Option 3rd is correct that is 24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the shortest  side of the triangle which is 12 centimeters.

We have been given the ratio of the three sides of the triangle

let the unknown side of the triangle be x

So, according to the ratio given we will have sides as:

2x : 3x :4x

since, shortest side is 12

So, 2x=12

x=6

Now, we have to find the longest side which is 4x

So, the required side is: 4 x 6 =24 centimeters

Therefore, option 3rd is correct.

What is the answer to x+a=3/4
Elza [17]
X can equal 2/4
a can equal 1/4

Or x can equal 1/4
and a can equal 2/4

Or x can equal -2/4
And a can equal 5/4

There's a series of values so just pick one set above unless you need the others.

What is the measure of angle G? Type only the number:
Alona [7]

Answer: 48

Step-by-step explanation:

total of all the degrees of the angles of the triangle is ALWAYS 180

let the measure of angle G be x

180 = 102+30+x

180 = 132+x

x = 48

If DF = 170, find the value of x. Then find DE and EF.<br> DE=3x + 20<br> EF=2x + 40
Julli [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  DE = 86

  EF = 84

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume that point E lies on segment DF, so that ...

  DE + EF = DF

  (3x +20) +(2x +40) = 170

  5x = 110 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms, subtract 60

  x = 22 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 5

  DE = 3×22 +20 = 66 +20 = 86

  EF = 2×22 +40 = 44 +40 = 84

The degenerate conic that is formed when a double cone is sliced at the ap-ex by a plane parallel to the base of the cone is a <u>Point</u>.

<h3>What degenerate conic is formed?</h3>

When a plane that is parallel to the base of a double cone is used to slice the ap-ex, the conic section formed is a circle.

Circles lead to a Point degenerate conic being formed because a single point will be formed on the double cone that separates the shape.
