Answer:

C = 6x - 7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three sides of the triangle = A, B, and C respectively.

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Perimeter of triangle, P = 17x-5 units

Side A = 3x+5 units

Side B = 8x-3 units

To find side C?

The perimeter of a triangle is given by the addition of all its three (3) sides.

Mathematically, the perimeter of a triangle is given by the formula;

P = A + B + C

Making "C" the subject of formula, we have;

C = P - A - B

Substituting into the equation, we have

C = 17x - 5 - (3x + 5) - (8x - 3)

C = 17x - 5 - 3x - 5 - 8x + 3

Collecting the like terms, we have;

C = 17x - 3x - 8x - 5 - 5 + 3

C = 6x - 7 units

Therefore, the third side is 6x - 7 units long.

Ahmed received a box of gifts. The box is a rectangular prism with the same height and width, and the length
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Ahmed received a box of gifts. The box is a rectangular prism with the same height and width, and the length

is twice the width. The volume of the box is 3,456 in? What is the height of the box?

Volume of a Rectangular pyramid = Length × Width × Height

From the above question

Height = Width = x

Length = 2 × Width

Length = 2x

Volume = 3,456 cubic inches

Hence,

3,456 = 2x × x × x

3456 = 2x³

x³ = 3456/2

x³ = 1728

Cube root both sides

Cube root(x³) = cube root (1728 cubic Inches)

x = 12 inches

Therefore, the height is 12 inches

Hey there guys could anyone help me out here? tutors are unavailable and help would really be appreciated.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is a parallelogram, angle B = angle D, and angle C = angle A

that means we have 130(2) = 260 degrees that we know.

the total interior angles of a parallelogram = 360

360 - 260 = 100 degrees left. BUT because those are the total amount of angles left, those are angles A and C combined, so you have to divide 100 in half to get the angle A/ angle DAB

100/2 = 50 degrees. hope this helps! leave a question if you are still confused.
