Answer:

The scale factor is 4.

Sides are 12 inches, 16 inches, 20 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3 : 4 : 5 and the perimeter is 48 inches.

Let the scale is p.

The length of sides is 3 p , 4 p and 5 p.

So, the perimeter is

3 p + 4 p + 5 p  = 48

12 p = 48

p = 4

So, the scale factor is 4.

Sides are 12 inches, 16 inches, 20 inches.

Given:

The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 3:4:5.

Its perimeter is 48 inches.

To find:

The scale factor as a decimal, and the measure of each side of the triangle.

Solution:

Let x be the scale factor. Then the measures of sides of the triangle are 3x, 4x and 5x.

The perimeter of the triangle is 48 inches. It means the sum of all sides of the triangle is 48 inches.

3x+4x+5x=48

12x=48

Divide both sides by 12.

x=\dfrac{48}{12}

x=4

Now, the measures of sides are:

3x=3(4)

3x=12

Similarly,

4x=4(4)

4x=16

And,

5x=5(4)

5x=20

Therefore, the scale factor is 4 and the measures of sides are 12, 16 and 20.

Put everything into a calculator to change to decimal form to make things easier:
27/5=5.4
5.36=5.36
5 3/5=5.6
33/6=5.5
So now in order to least to greatest it would be:
5.36, 27/5, 33/6, 5 3/5

Monica [59]

Answer:

a = -4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

(9a + 4) = 0

Subtract 4 from each side

9a + 4-4 = 0-4

9a = -4

Divide each side by 9

9a/9 = -4/9

a = -4/9
