Answer:

27mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sailing course is equilateral in shape, then all their sides are equal.

Get one of the sides using Pythagoras theorem as shown;

Let one of the side be x

Two base will be x/2

According to the theorem;

x² = 9² +(x/2)²

x² = 81 + x²/4

x²-x²/4 = 81

3x²/4 = 81

3x² = 324

x² = 324/4

x² = 81

x = 9

Perimeter of the triangle = 3x

Perimeter of the triangle = 3(9)

Perimeter of the triangle = 27mi

Which of the following is the quotient of the rational expression (x-2/x+3) divided by (2/x)
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

(x²-2x)/(2x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

When you are asked to divide two fractions just do keep-change-flip. Keep the first fraction, change the ÷ to x and flip the second fraction upside down. So the problem becomes ((x-2)/(x+3)) times (x/2). Then just multiply numerators and multiply denominators.
