Given:

One midsegment of an equilateral triangle.

To find:

The ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths.

Solution:

All sides of an equilateral triangle are same.

Let a be the each side of the equilateral triangle.

Length of the midsegment is equal to the half of the non included side or third side.

Midsegment=\dfrac{a}{2}

The sum of two side is

a+a=2a

Now, the ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths is

\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Length of midsegment}}{\text{sum of two sides}}

\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{\dfrac{a}{2}}{2a}

\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{a}{4a}

\text{Required ratio}=\dfrac{1}{4}

\text{Required ratio}=1:4

Therefore, the ratio of the length of one midsegment of an equilateral triangle to the sum of two of its side lengths is 1:4.

What the answer X/3=3
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Multiply 3 to both sides.

(x/3)(3) = 3(3)

x = 3(3)

x = 3 * 3

x = 9

x = 9 is your answer.

Only thing I need to know is what to do for the x on y = x + 3 and y = x
Ronch [10]

Answer:

Think of y = mx + b,

With y = x + 3, m = 1 so the slope is one, and b = 3 which is the y-intercept, so plot the point (0,3) on the y-axis.

To find the next point to plot go up 1 and over to the right 1 because slope is rise over run.

With y = x, the slope is still 1, but there is no y-intercept, so you plot the point (0,0), and to find the next point on that line, go up 1 and over the right 1 because m=1

A new crew of painters takes two times as long as the old painters. Together they can paint in 6 hours. How many hours does it t
babymother [125]
Let n be old painters time. Then the new painters are 2n. So:
1/n+1/2n=1/6
2+1=2n/6
2n=18
n=9
The old painters take 9 hours; the new ones take 18
