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

DH = HF      

x + 1 = 3y         

y = (x + 1) ⁄ 3        


GH = HE

 3x – 4 = 5y + 1 

 y = (3x – 5) ⁄ 5 

            

 y = y 

 (x + 1) ⁄ 3 = (3x – 5) ⁄ 5 

5x + 5 = 9x – 15 

4x = 20 

 x = 5 


y = (x + 1) ⁄ 3        

y = (5 + 1) ⁄ 3       

y = 2

A seamstress needs to cut 15-inch pieces of ribbon from a roll of ribbon that is 9 feet in length. What is the greatest number o
Eduardwww [97]
Before attempting to solve any problem, make sure that the units are consistent. There are units of feet and inches. To be consistent,let's convert ft to in knowing that there are 12 inches in 1 ft.

9 ft*12 in/1 ft = 108 inches

Now, it also mentions that there are 5 of these. So, the total length would be:
Total Length = 108*5 = 540 inches

Finally, divide the total length to 15 inches.

Number of portions = 540/15 = <em>36 pieces of 15-inch ribbons</em>

Linda is making a mosaic stepping stone to place in
Lorico [155]

Answer:

D 565.2 in

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the area of the stepping stone. The rule for area of circle is pi times radius squared. To find the radius you divide 12 by 2 = 6. After you do 6 times 6= 36 you multiply 36 times pi (3.14) = 113.04. After we find the are of the stepping stone we multiply it by five to get how many inches we have to cover. 113.04 times 5= 565.2 in.
