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

41.3+0.7 adding and subtracting decimals
viktelen [127]
The answer would be 42
Because the 0.3 (from the number 41.3) and 0.7 make 1 so basically it would be 41+1=42

erastova [34]

Answer:

3.93 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The first 4 hours is at 20 hours / 4 hours  or 5 dollars an hours

The second  line has a slope of 2.50 dollars an hour

But there is also a surcharge when you go over 4 hours

That is a 5 dollar flat rate at 4 hours

Assuming that we do not include the flat rate in the hourly calculation

4 hours * 5 dollar + 3 hours * 2.50 = 20+7.50

27.50 is the hourly charge

Divide by 7 hours

3.928571429

3.93 per hour

Can someone help me out?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

so basically

the area of the square; (5cm)^2 = 25cm^5

the area of the triangle; (4cm.5cm)/2 = 10cm^2

which means that r = √25cm^2/10cm^2 = √25/10 cm^2 or √10/25 cm^2

english is not my first language so i do not know what combined means but if u explain a little more i will try to help u

-> ok edit edit;

1cm/5in. = r

5cm => 25in.

z^2= area of a square so

25in.25in= 625 in^2

4cm => 20in.

5cm => 25in.

h.b/2 = area of a triangle so

20in.25in./2 = 250in.^2

250in.^2 + 625in.^2 = 875in.^2

so answer B
