Suppose the three sides are a, b, and c, with c being the longest, a being the shortest
first equation: c=(a+b)-66
second equation: 2a=c-55=> c=2a+55
plug c=2a+55 into the first equation: 2a+55= a+b-66 => b=a+121
a+b+c=a+(a+121)+(2a+55)=7272 =>4a+176=7272 =>a=1774
a=1774, b=1895, c=3603

Erika jumped 2.3 feet above the ground

Step-by-step explanation:
You have to look at the word choice, like below or tall. If they are describing something below something else they generally want it to be negative, or if they are talking about how much you owe. Otherwise it will be positive. Then just match the numbers.
Answer:
c = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
a² + 12a + c
To complete the square
add ( half the coefficient of the a- term )² to a² + 12a
a² + 2(6)a + 6²
= (a + 6)² + 36
Hence the value of c = 36
