Answer:

First side, a = 8 ft.

Second side = 12 ft.

Third side, c = 18 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sides of the triangle be a, b and c respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter = 38ft

First side, a = b - 4

Third side, c = b + 4

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = a + b + c

Substituting into the equation, we have;

38 = (b - 4) + b + (b + 6)

38 = 3b + 2

3b = 38 - 2

3b = 36

b = 36/3

b = 12ft

To find the first side, a;

a = b - 4

a = 12 - 4

a = 8ft.

To find the third side, c

c = b + 6

c = 12 + 6

c = 18 ft.

Solve using elimination <br> y = 3x + 4 <br> y = 2x + 2
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

x=-2

y=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

express the system in standard form

-(3x)+y=4 (equation 1)

-(2x+4y=2 (equation 2)

------------------

Subtract 2/3x(equation 1) from equation 2

-(3x)+y=4 (equation 1)

0x+y/3=-2/3 (equation 2)

-----------------

Multiply equation 2 by 3

-(3x)+y=4 (equation 1)

0x+y=-2 (equation 2)

----------------

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1

-(3x)+0y=6 (equation 1)

0x+y=-2 (equation 2)

----------------

Divide equation 1 by -3:

X+0y=-2 (equation 1)

0x+y=-2 (equation 2)

A)∠ JIL and ∠ KLN<br><br> B)∠ JIL and ∠ JIG<br><br> C)∠ JIL and ∠ KLI<br><br> D)∠ JIL and HIG
siniylev [52]

Answer:

C. JIL and KLI

Step-by-step explanation:

Well a interior angle is a curve type thing where two lines cross it will look like half a oval or circle. Your Using the letters to create this half and oval shape and to help us understand a Interior angle we know J,I, and L are connected so we can look at and connect those letting us know what the other one should look like. Connecting each option (KLN, JIG, KIL and HIG) Will let us know if they match JIL or not. KLN is smaller then JIL making it incorrect and that also tells us that JIG is incorrect since it matches KLN but compare it anyways. Now we check KLI doing that shows us that it does match JIL and it may be the answer but let's compare HIG to JIL anyways By doing this we see that HIG is a lot bigger and that it does not match JIL leaving us with choice C.

                                    I hope this helped I had no idea what a Interior angel was so i looked up what it was then self taught from there im sure there is more to it, But I hoped this helped you have a great day!!! :)

Write the sum of the numbers as the product of their GCF and another sum.
8090 [49]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the GCF of 40 and 44:

40=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 2\cdot 5\\ \\44=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 2\cdot 11\\ \\GCF(40,44)=2\cdot 2=4

So,

40+44=4\cdot 10+4\cdot 11=4\cdot (10+11)

2. Find the GCF of 13 and 52:

13=\underline{13}\\ \\52=2\cdot 2\cdot \underline{13}\\ \\GCF(13,52)=13

So,

13+52=13\cdot 1+13\cdot 4=13\cdot (1+4)

3. Find the GCF of 15 and 81:

15=\underline{3}\cdot 5\\ \\81=\underline{3}\cdot 3\cdot 3\cdot 3\\ \\GCF(15,81)=3

So,

15+81=3\cdot 5+3\cdot 27=3\cdot (5+27)

4. Find the GCF of 64 and 28:

64=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\cdot 2\\ \\28=\underline{2\cdot 2}\cdot 7\\ \\GCF(64,28)=2\cdot 2=4

So,

64+28=4\cdot 16+4\cdot 7=4\cdot (16+7)
