Answer:

I'll setup the problem and you can do the calculations

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of straw - L

Length of piece 1 - x

Length of piece 2 - y

Length of piece 3 - z

What's given and the answer to (i)

y = x - 3

z = 2x

(ii) L = x + y + z = x + x - 3 + 2x

L = 4x-3

(iii) x = (21+3)/4 = 24/4

leaving you to calculate x

then substitute x into expressions for y & z above and you will have the answer

Answer:

Perimeter is 17.07

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that DF = EF = 5 cm, since D and E are the midpoints of AC and AB, both of which are 10 cm in length.

We need to use the Pythagorean theorem to get the length of DE.

DE = \sqrt{5^{2} +5^{2}}=\sqrt{50}  = 7.07\\

So the perimeter of DEF is 5 + 5 + 7.07 = 17.07
