Given:

Sides of a triangle are x cm, x+2 cm, and x+4 cm.

Perimeter of triangle is 51 cm.

To find:

The the length of the longest side of the triangle.

Solution:

Sides of a triangle are x cm, x+2 cm, x+4 cm and perimeter of the triangle is 51 cm.

Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all sides of the triangle.

x+(x+2)+(x+4)=51

3x+6=51

3x=51-6

3x=45

Divide both sides by 3.

x=15

Now, length of sides of the triangle are

x=15\text{ cm}

x+2=15+2=17\text{ cm}

x+4=15+4=19\text{ cm}

Therefore, the length of longest side of the triangle is 19 cm.

1) "Maps are lifeline of navigators" Discuss.​
ozzi

Answer with Explanation:

"Navigators" are people responsible for telling the position of an object in response to its location. It tells which direction the<em> vessel, vehicle or aircraft</em> needs to follow. In order to do this, they need to be equipped with maps. Maps will allow them to function, since it is their<em> "lifeline."</em> This means that <u>navigators relies on maps</u> in order to know more about the different locations in the area. Without maps, <em>they won't be able to know the correct direction from one point to another.</em> This will also render their navigational skills useless.

How much warning time did residents of Sumatra have before the 2004 tsunami hit land?
Katarina [22]
Sad to say, the warning time that the residents of Sumatra had before the 2004 tsunami hit land was close from little to none. A rough estimation would around 15 - 30 minutes. They say that the primary cause would be that there wasn't any warning systems over the Indian Ocean at that time. Another thing, which is what most people who knew about it would point out as the real problem, is that there was no issuance of a warning in the first place. The quake was detected an hour or so before the tsunami occurred in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre located in Ewo, Hawaii. At that moment, the information was relayed to Australia and to the rest of the world. The question wasn't why the Centre didn't issue a warning, but why the whole world network of information didn't issue one. They say that other sophisticated data were available at that time and almost immediately since the tsunami was active.
