Answer:

x= 17cm

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

sides of a triangle:

x, x-5, 3x

perimeter= 80cm

perimeter of a triangle= side + side + side

80 = x + (x-5) + (3x)

80 = x + x + 3x -5 ------------->(rearranging the like terms together)

80 = 5x - 5

80+5 = 5x

85 = 5x

85/5 = x

17cm = x

12.89503 ronded to the hundreths is​
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

12.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The hundredth is the second decimal place.

Basically we want to drop the numbers after the 9.

12.89  <u>5</u>03

Use the underlined decimal place, right after what you are rounding to, to determine if you round up or down.

For numbers 0-4, round down (keep the number). For numbers 5-9, round up (increase by 1).

We need to round up because 5 is in the range 5-9.

"Add" 1 to the hundredth decimal place and treat it like addition:

.   12.89

<u>+    0.01</u>

.    12.90

Duane and mick are saving their money to build a tree house. Duane adds $5 to their piggy bank every other week. Mick adds $2 ev
mezya [45]
The have been saving for 10 weeks.

Given:
Duane = $5 every other week. meaning every 2 weeks
Mick = $2 every week
Amount Saved = $45

First, divide Duane's $5 by 2 to get his weekly contribution.
$5/2 = $2.50

let x be the number of weeks.

Duane + Mick = $45
2.50x + 2x = 45
4.50x = 45
4.50x/4.50 = 45/4.50
x = 10 weeks

to check:
2.50x + 2x = 45
2.50(10) + 2(10) = 45
25 + 20 = 45
45 = 45

Which of the following would NOT work to make a triangle with the two side<br> lengths of 2 and 6?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

If you add 2 and 4, you will get 6. This is the right answer because the only answer that is incorrect is the 4th, it has to equal a minimum of 7, not 6.
