given a triangle with a perimeter of 56in. we know the first side is 3 inches less than twice the length of the second side, and

the third side is 10 inches more than half the length of the second side. if the second side length is h, how long is the longest side? write an equation to solve for the variable.

Answer:

Side A = 25 in

Side B = 14 in

Side C = 17 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a triangle = 56 in

Side B = x

Side A = 2x - 3

Side C = 1/2x + 10

Perimeter of a triangle = side A + Side B + side C

56 = (2x -3) + x + (1/2x + 10)

56 = 2x - 3 + x + 1/2x + 10

56 + 3 - 10 = 2x + x + 1/2x

49 = 3 1/2x

Note: 3 1/2x = 3.5x

49 = 3.5x

x = 49/3.5

x = 14 in

Side B = x = 14 in

Side A = 2x - 3

= 2(14) - 3

= 28 - 3

= 25 in

Side C = 1/2x + 10

= 1/2(14) + 10

= 7 + 10

= 17 in

Find the missing segment in the attached image
xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The length of the missing segment is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The figure above

Required

Determine the missing segment

Let the missing segment be represented with x

Given that, there exist parallel lines between the two triangles;

The relationship between the sides of the triangles is as follows;

\frac{15}{x} = \frac{15+5}{8+x}

\frac{15}{x} = \frac{20}{8+x}

Cross Multiply

15 * (8 + x) = 20 * x

Open bracket

15*8 + 15 * x = 20 * x

120 + 15x = 20x

Subtract 15x from both sides

120 + 15x -15x= 20x-15x

120 = 20x-15x

120 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5

\frac{120}{5} = \frac{5x}{5}

\frac{120}{5} = x

24 = x

x = 24

Hence, the length of the missing segment is 24

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Alright, it went 1 to the right and down 2 times.

So for point B, you calculate the opposite.

Point B goes 1 left while going up by 2.

(9 - 1, 3 + 2) = (8, 5)

Pre-image point A is (8, 5)
