Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x2−2x−5=0
Let us factorize using the split the middle term method.
On inspection we observe that middle term can be split in two parts whose product is equal to the product of first and third term.
Two terms are −5xand3x
The equation becomes
3x2+3x−5x−5=0, pairing the two and taking out common factors
⇒(3x2+3x)−(5x+5)=0,
don't forget to change the sign of −5 once placed inside the parenthesis.
⇒3x(x+1)−5(x+1)=0
⇒(x+1)(3x−5)=0
Either (x+1)=0 or (3x−5)=0
We obtain x=−1,53
or x=−1,123
The answer to the question
Answer: the shortest side is 10 centimeters.
The length of each of the other sides is 10 centimeters each.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle.
Two sides of the triangle are each twice as long as the shortest side. This means that the length of the two sides would be 2x.
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of each side of the triangle.
The puzzle piece in the shape of a triangle has perimeter 25 centimeters. This means that
x + 2x + 2x = 25
5x = 25
x = 25/5
x = 5
The length of each of the two sides is
2x = 2 × 5 = 10
