You don't say whether this is a right triangle or not.
Assuming it is a right triangle, then we use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine the length of the hypotenuse:
(hypo) = (length of third side) = √(12^2 + 4^2) = √(144+16) = √160 = 4√10.
This is approx. 12.65 inches. Since this does not match any of the possible answer choices, we'll have to take a different approach to answering this question.
Given that 2 sides of the given triangle are 12 and 4 inches, respectively, we see that the 3rd side has to be longer than 8 inches; otherwise we'd have three line segments on the same line, not forming a triangle.
By this reasoning, 9 inches is the only possible answer that could be correct. With sides 12, 9 and 4 inches, the triangle would be obtuse and appear quite flat, but not be part of a straight line as with a third side of 8.
Answer:
(n-2) • (4n+3)
Step-by-step explanation:
4n2-5n-6
Final result :
(n - 2) • (4n + 3)
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(22n2 - 5n) - 6
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 4n2-5n-6
The first term is, 4n2 its coefficient is 4 .
The middle term is, -5n its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -6
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 4 • -6 = -24
Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-24 + 1 = -23
-12 + 2 = -10
-8 + 3 = -5 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -8 and 3
4n2 - 8n + 3n - 6
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
4n • (n-2)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
3 • (n-2)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(4n+3) • (n-2)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(n - 2) • (4n + 3)
John ran 6 1/2. Ben ran half of that, so he had run 3 1/4 and Sarah ran 4.75 miles. Add those up and you get 14.5
Can I have brainllest
Answer:
The longer piece: 54m
The shorter piece: 19m
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation from what is said.
One of the pieces is 'x'
The other piece is 2x+16
x + (2x + 16) = 73m
solve for x
x = 19
plug it in
2*19 + 16
you get 54
so 54 is the longer piece
and 19 is the shorter piece (x was the shorter piece)
Hope this helped :)
