Let the shortest side be x. Then the other two sides will be x+1 and x+2.
Perimeter = P = sum of the lengths of all three sides = x + (x+1) + (x+2)
This perimeter = 4x -1 (1 less than 4 times the shortest side).
Then x + x + 1 + x + 2 = 4x - 1
or: 3x + 3 = 4x -1 Subtr. 3x from both sides:
3 = x - 1
x=4, x+1=5, and x+2=6
The 3 sides have lengths 4, 5 and 6.
Answer:
-6
Step-by-step explanation:
r = 9, b = 5, g = -6
Plug these values into (r + b - 8)(b + g)
[(9) + (5) - 8]*[(5) + (-6)]
Combine like terms in the brackets
[6]*[-1]
6 times -1 equals -6, so that is your answer
A. sum of rational and irrational and it ends up being rational
The triangle could be isosceles or scalene. It cannot be equilateral since all angles in that triangle would be 60 degrees. This prevents two sides from being perpendicular. Hope this helps!
