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.

48/64 Which choices are equivalent to the fraction below? Check all that apply. A. 8/6 B. 3/4 C. 6/8 D. 12/16 E. 9/12 F. 24/32​
irinina [24]

Answer:

B, C, D, F

Step-by-step explanation:

to simplify the fraction 48/64, you need to divide both the numerator and denominator by their common factors. B is correct since you can divide both by 16, C is correct since both are divisible by 8, D is correct since both are divisible by 4, and F is correct since both are divisible by 2. A, however, would be correct only if the fraction were 64/48 and E would only be correct if 9 was a factor of 48 and 12 was a factor of 64, however neither haev such factors.
