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

A system of linear equations has been graphed in the diagram. determine a reasonable solution for the system of equations.
Grace [21]

Answer:

(1,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to a system of equation means the x and y values if we were to solve both equations (of lines) simultaneously.

That is also known as the intersecting points.

The top-right part is known as the 1st Quadrant in a coordinate system.

Top-left is 2nd Quadrant.

Bottom left is 3rd Quadrant.

Bottom right is 4th Quadrant.

The values of x and y (positive or negative) of each quadrant is shown below:

  • Quadrant 1: x +ve, y +ve
  • Quadrant 2: x -ve, y +ve
  • Quadrant 3: x -ve, y -ve
  • Quadrant 4: x +ve, y -ve

The intersection point (solution) of the 2 lines shown is in the 4th quadrant, which has x values positive and y values negative.

From the answer choices, we see that 3rd answer choice goes with this -- (1,-1), so this is the correct choice.
