Answer:
a = 33ft
b= 66ft
c = 48 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:
- a (shortest side)= a
- b (second side)=2a (twice the length of the shortest side)
- c (third side)= a+15 ( 15 feet more than the length of the shortest side)
Since:
Perimeter = a+b+c
Replacing with the values given:
147 = a+2a+(a+15)
147 = a+2a+a+15
147-15 = a+2a+a
132 = 4a
132/4 = a
33 ft= a
Substituting a =33 in the other expressions:
b=2a = 2(33) = 66 ft
c= a+15 = 33+15 = 48 ft
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You must first get the equation into slope-intercept format: y = mx + b. . 2x+-+5y+=+-25<span> . Subtract </span>2x<span> from both sides</span>
11)
3x = 180
x = 60
12)
6x + 18 = 180
6x = 162
x = 27
To show that they used the same amount of ribbon you could take the 1 yard and divided into different sized equal groups.
1 yard divided by four equals 1/4 yard for each of four ribbons.
1 yard divided by six equals 1/6 yard for each of six ribbons.
You could have ribbons the size of 1/4 our yard and 1/6 yard, but you would have different amounts of each.
