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

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (7, 2) and (2, 12)
Anika [276]

Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (when x=0).

the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how much y changes, when x changes for a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

going from (7, 2) to (2, 12) :

x changes by -5 (from 7 to 2), y changes by +10 (from 2 to 12).

so, the slope is 10/-5 = -2

therefore, we have already

y = -2x + b

we get b by using the coordinates of one of the points as x and y. e.g. (7, 2)

2 = -2×7 + b = -14 + b

16 = b

so, the full line equation is

y = -2x + 16

find the dimensions of a rectangle whose width is 5 miles less than its length and whose area is 66 square miles
Lyrx [107]
A = l * w
66 = l * (l - 5)
66 = l^{2}-5l
0 = l^{2}-5l - 66

l = 11 or 6 check which works.

A = 11 * 6, which fits.

length = 11 miles
width = 5 miles
