Answer:
The length of the sides of the triangle are as follow: Two sides are 14.4 inches long and the shortest is 7.2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
P = 36in // perimeter of triangle
P = A + B + C //equation for perimeter of a triangle
A = B or B = A //Showing that two sides are equal in length
A = 2C and B = 2C //Showing that the two equal sides are each doubled of the shortest side
C = A/2 and C = B/2 //Showing the same thing as the top, but in terms of the shortest side
Solve for C //First we solve for the shortest side as it's easiest
36 = A + B + C
36 = 2C + 2C + C //Use substitution for A and B
36 = 5C
C = 7.2in
Solve for A
A = 2C
A = 2(7.2) //Use what we solved for C
A = 14.4in
Solve for B
B = A
B = 14.4in //Same as A
Check Work
P = A + B + C
P = 14.4 + 14.4 + 7.2
P = 36
Lets answer the information by making it look like a budget subtraction:
60 = Total
1. Remove the delivery cost, so you can leave the rest of the budget for your pizzas.
60 - 7.50 = 52.50
2. Now, subtract the cost of pizzas multiple times until you reach it to where you dont have enough for another pizza.
52.50 - 14 = 38.50 Pizza 1
38.50 - 14 = 24.50 Pizza 2
24.50 - 14 = 10.50 Pizza 3
Now, theres not enough to buy another.
So, we know that Jacque can only afford 3 pizzas, but she need to calculate the number of slices.
3. Multiply the number of slices by the number of pizzas.
8 x 3 = 24
So, the largest number is 24 slices.
Answer:
5/6 so the missing number is 5.
Step-by-step explanation: I hope this helps. :)
