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 rectangle has a length of 32feet less than 8 times its width. If the area of the rectangle is 96 square feet, find the length
lesantik [10]

L = 8w-32

w(8w-32) = 96

8x^2 - 32w - 96 = 0

w^2 - 4w - 12 = 0

(w  -  6)(w +  2  ) = 0

w+2=0 results in negative measures

w-6=0 ---> w = 6

width is 6

length is 8(6) - 32 = 48-32 = 16

Between 10 P.M. and 7:54 A.M.​, the water level in a swimming pool decreased by 11/40 . Assuming that the water level decreased
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

It approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate the decrease.

Decrease = 11/40 = 0.275

Then,  we calculate the time interval.

From 10 pm to 7:54 hours will be 9.54 hours

Time interval= (9 + 54/60) hours

Time interval=9.9 hours

Finally, we calculate how much it dropped each hour

0.275/9.9 ≈ 0.027777

So it approximately dropped 0.027777 per hour.
