The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side. The length of the third side

seropon [69]

Answer:

7 feet, 3 feet, 7.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides be a, b and c.

<h3>Given</h3>

The length of one side of a triangle is 2 feet less than three times the length of its second side

a = 3b - 2

The length of the third side is 3/4 of the sum of the lengths of the first two sides:

c = (3/4)(a + b)

The perimeter of the triangle is 17.5 feet:

a + b + c = 17.5

<h3>Solution</h3>

Substitute a with b in the second equation:

c = (3/4)(3b - 2 + b) = (3/4)(4b - 2) = (3/4)(4b) - (3/4)(2) = 3b - 1.5

Now substitute a and c with b in the third equation and solve for b:

a + b + c = 17.5

3b - 2 + b + 3b - 1.5 = 17.5
7b - 3.5 = 17.5
7b = 17.5 + 3.5
7b = 21
b = 3

Find the value of a:

a = 3b - 2 = 3*3 - 2 = 9 - 2 = 7

Find the value of c:

c = 3b - 1.5 = 3*3 - 1.5 = 9 - 1.5 = 7.5

The sides of the triangle are:

a = 7 feet, b = 3 feet, c = 7.5 feet

Three years after paying $2800 in a startup company, you sell for $2200. The total percent return is what?

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The total percentage return is 26.19

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The amount paid for three years = $ 2800

So, Total amount paid for three years = $ 2800 × 3 = $ 8400

The return amount after three years = $ 2200

The time period = 3 years

Let the percentage return = x %

So, According to question

x % of $ 8400 = $ 2200

Or, x % = $\frac{2200}{8400}$

Or, $\frac{x}{100}$ = $\frac{11}{42}$

∴ x = $\frac{11}{42}$ × 100

I.e x = 26.19

Hence The total percentage return is 26.19 Answer

Find the number of elements in A1 ∪A2 ∪A3 if there are 100 elements in A1, 1000 in A2, and 10,000 in A3 if a) A1 ⊆ A2 and A2 ⊆ A

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 3 sets such that there are 100 elements in A1, 1000 in A2, and 10,000 in A3

a) If A1 ⊆ A2 and A2 ⊆ A3

then union will contain the same number of elements as that of A3

i.e. $n(A1 ∪A2 ∪A3)=n(A3) =10000$

b) If the sets are pairwise disjoint.

union will contain the sum of elements of each set

$n(A1 ∪A2 ∪A3) = 100+1000+10000=11100$

c) If there are two elements common to each pair of sets and one element in all three sets

We subtract common elements pairwise and add common element in 3

i.e. $n(A1 ∪A2 ∪A3) = 100+1000+10000-2-2-2+1\\= 10995$
