Answer:
The sides are
6
inches,
8
inches and
10
inches
Explanation:
I'd suggest that the question should read 'The perimeter of a triangle is 24 inches. The longest side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side, and the shortest side is three-fourths the length of the middle side. How do you find the length of each side of the triangle?'
In this case the question can be answered. If
x
is the length of the middle side, then the shortest side is 3/4x and the longest side is 3/4x+4
x+3/4x+3/4x+4=24
10/4x=20
x=8
Then the shortest side is 6and the longest side is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply both sides by -5/3.
X= 6 times -5/3
X= -10
The answer is x = 6
hope this helps
Answer:the length of the shorter string= 36cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us assume the lengths are 2x and 7x since thery are in the ratio of 2 :7
Such that Length of the shorter string = 2x
and the longer string = 7x so that the difference in Length which is 90cm can be expressed as
7x- 2x= 90
5x= 90
x 90/5
x= 18
shorter string = 2 x = 2x 18= 36cm
Longer strring = 7x 18=126cm
D = 14
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d - 1/2
2d + 4*2 = 3d - 6
2d - 3d = -6-8
-d = -14
d = 14
