Answer:

3 triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of triangle = a + b + c

Given that :

P = 12

and a, b, c are natural numbers

Let :

Side A = a

Side B = b

Side C = 12 - (a + b)

Side A + side B > side C - - - (condition 1)

a + b > 12 - (a + b)

a + b > 12 - a - b

a + a + b + b > 12

2a + 2b > 12

2(a + b) > 12

a + b > 6

Side A - side B < side C

a - b < 12 - (a + b)

a - b + a + b < 12

2a < 12

a < 6

b < 6 (arbitrary point)

Going by the Constraint above :

The only three possibilities are :

(2, 5, 5)

(3, 4, 5)

(4, 4, 4)

Total number of triangle = 3

Equilateral triangle (all 3 sides equal) = (4, 4, 4) = 1

Isosceles triangle (only 2 sides equal) = (2, 5, 5) = 1

miskamm [114]

Given :

James puts $3,500 into a savings account that earns 2.5% simple interest.

He does not touch that account for 3 years.

To Find :

The new balance of the account be after 3 years.

Solution :

Interest on $3500 after 3 years is :

$I = \dfrac{P_o\times r\times t}{100}\\\\I = \dfrac{3500\times 2.5\times 3}{100}\\\\I = \$262.5$

So, new balance of the account after 3 years is $( 3500+262.5 ) = $3762.5 .

Hence, this is the required solution.

Andrej [43]

Answer:

4 hours and 45 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Christchurch is 2 hours ahead of Sydney, you subtract 2 from 12:45 and get 10:45 so then, you determine the difference between 10:45 and 6:00 AM and it results in 4.75 hours or 4 hours and 45 minutes
