Answer: the length if the three sides are 31 feet, 23 feet and 18 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle.

Let y represent the length of the second side of the triangle.

Let z represent the length of the third side of the triangle.

The second side of a triangular deck is 5 feet longer than the shortest​ side. This means that

y = x + 5

The third side is 5 feet shorter than twice the length of the shortest side. This means that

z = 2x - 5

If the perimeter of the deck is 72 ​feet, it means that

x + x + 5 + 2x - 5 = 72

4x = 72

x = 72/4 = 18

z = 2x - 5 = 2 × 18 - 5

z = 36 - 5

z = 31

y = x + 5 = 18 + 5

y = 23

A perfect square trinomial can be represented by a square model with equivalent length and width. Which polynomial can be repres
lina2011 [118]
The correct answer is 
A) x^2 - 6x + 9

In fact, this is a trinomial of the form ax^2-bx+c, whose solutions are given by
x_{1,2}=  \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{2a}
Using this formula for the trinomial of the problem, we find:
x1,2=  \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{6^2-4\cdot 1\cdot 9}}{2} =3
<span>we see that this trinomial has two coincident solutions (x=3 with multiplicity 2). This means that it can be rewritten as a perfect square, in the following form: 
</span>(x-3)^2<span>

Which set of rational numbers is arranged from least to greatest? 1 over 5, −1.4, negative 1 over 2, 3 3, negative 1 over 2, −1.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Option 4 - -1.4,\ -\frac{1}{2},\ \frac{1}{5},\ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : Which set of rational numbers is arranged from least to greatest?

Solution :

The set of rational numbers are

3,\ \frac{1}{5},\ -1.4,\ -\frac{1}{2}

Writing all number in one form,

\frac{1}{5}=0.2

-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5

Now, -1.4<-0.5<0.2<3

From least to greatest the set of natural numbers are

-1.4

So, -1.4,\ -\frac{1}{2},\ \frac{1}{5},\ 3

Therefore, option 4 is correct.
