Answer:

19cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle is a triangle where the length of the 3 sides are the same.

the perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides

for example, if the length of the side of the an equilateral triangle is 5, the perimeter is 5 x 3 = 15

let x = unknown length of side

length after increase = x + 5

(x + 5) x 3 = 72

divide both sides of the equation by 3

x + 5 = 24

subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

x = 24 - 5 = 19cm

The question is Stephen read for 34 minutes on Monday and 45 minutes on Tuesday. Use breaking apart to find how many minutes Ste
user100 [1]
Breaking apart means that you just take the tens from each number, and the ones from each number, then add them up.


The tens from your numbers are:
30 from 34
40 from 45

The ones from your numbers are:
4 from 34
5 from 45

Now, you have to add up the tens and ones separately.
30 + 40 = 70
4 + 5 = 9

Finally, you add up those 2 numbers that you got- 70 and 9

The answer: Stephen read for 79 minutes total.

John mows 247 square feet of lawn per minute. how many square yards of lawn does he mow per hour?
Black_prince [1.1K]
1647. 1 hour=60 minutes. John can mow 247 square feet per minute, so he can mow 60*247=14820 square feet per hour. 1 yard=3 feet, so 1 square yard =3^2=9 square feet, so in the same duration of time, John can mow 14820/9=1647 square yards (approximately) per hour.
