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.

Find the slope and y intercept of the line y=7/5x-3 5/7; 3 3; 7/5 7/5;-3 -3; 7/5
7nadin3 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

From the question

y = 7/5x - 3

Comparing with the above formula

<h3>Slope / m = 7/5</h3><h3>c/ y intercept = - 3</h3>

Hope this helps you

Your answer would be B.

The triangles would be congruent, because the lines GH and FI are congruent and the angle H and I are the same, and since the line HI is shared by the two, it would then be SAS.

Natalia begins to find the mean absolute deviation of this data set. She finds the mean of the data and then finds the distance
s2008m [1.1K]
Hello!

To calculate mean absolute deviation, you find the mean, find the distance between each data point and the mean, add up those distances, and divide by the number of data points.

In this scenario, after Natalia finds the distances, she must add them all up and then divide by the number of data points.

I hope this helps!
