Answer:
You could use a measurement of 4 centimeters.
The valid range is 2 < x < 8 cms.
Step-by-step explanation:
The third side must either be less than 3+5, that is less than 8 cms and it must be greater than (5-3) = 2 cms. If it is any other length we could not construct a triangle.
Just substitute 3 for x, and it’s 3+1=4. Your answer is 4!
The answer to your question is b
Let the number be x
3x - 5 = 14
3x = 19
X = 6 1/3 or 6.333333...
- Key -
Black tiles = x
Purple tiles = x+50
Yellow tiles = 5x
-
Total = x + x+50 + 5x = 400
⇒ 7x + 50 = 400
⇒ 7x = 400-50 = 350
⇒ x = 350/7
⇒ x = 50
Black tiles = 50
Purple tiles = 50+50 = 100
Yellow tiles = 5 x 50 = 250
