Answer:

First side is: 12cm

Second side is: 36cm

Third side is: 16cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the shorter side

Then 3x represents the second side, and

x + 4 represents the third side.

Perimeter of three sides:

P = x + 3x + (x + 4)

Perimeter is 64, so

64 = x + 3x + (x + 4)

64 = 5x + 4

60 = 5x

12 = x

First side is x: 12cm

Second side is 3x: 3(12) = 36cm

Third side is x + 4: 12 + 4 = 16cm

Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get bigger while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

when you multiply a whole number by itself it will obviously get bigger.

4 to the 2nd power equals 16 because 4x4 = 16

if you were to multiply a smaller number though, it wouldn't get as big.

Each number you put to the same exponent will not get bigger at the same rate since each number isnt being multiplied by the same thing.

ex. 4 and 6 are raised to the second power both dont get multiplied by the same number 4 is multiplied by 4, and 6 by 6, therefore the bigger the number the bigger it grows.

Fractions get smaller for this reason when you have the fraction 2/3 raised to the second, both numbers must be raised. 2 to the second equals 4 while 3 to the second is 9.

1/2 to the second would then equal 1/4 since 1 to the second equals 1 and 2 to the second equals 4.

Answer:

The length of the road that runs straight from Pittsburgh to Jeanette is 29.8 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Bethel Park is 28 miles directly west of Jeanette

10.3 miles directly south of Pittsburgh

We can draw diagram

we can see that this is triangle

so, we can use Pythagoras theorem

and we get

x^2=28^2+10.3^2

now, we can solve for x

x=\sqrt{28^2+10.3^2}

x=29.834miles

So,

The length of the road that runs straight from Pittsburgh to Jeanette is 29.8 miles
