Answer:

15 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of an odd integer are given by 2n - 1. Since the sides of the triangle are three consecutive odd integers, let them be 2n - 1, 2(n + 1) - 1 and 2(n + 2) - 1 respectively, where 2n - 1 is the shortest side

Let P = perimeter of triangle = 2n - 1 + 2(n + 1) - 1 + 2(n + 2) - 1

= 2n - 1 + 2n + 2 - 1 + 2n + 4 - 1

= 2n - 1 + 2n + 1 + 2n + 3

= 2n + 2n + 2n - 1 + 1 + 3

= 6n + 3

Since the shortest side is 20% of the perimeter of the triangle, we have that

2n - 1 = 20%(6n + 3)

2n - 1 = 0.2(6n + 3)

expanding the bracket, we have

2n - 1 = 1.2n + 0.6

subtracting -1.2n and adding +1 to both sides, we have

2n - 1.2n = 1 + 0.6

0.8n = 1.6

dividing both sides by 0.8, we have

n = 1.6/0.8

n = 2

Since P = 6n + 3, substituting n = 2, we have

P = 6(2) + 3 = 12 + 3 = 15 units

Determine whether the triangle is a scalene, isosceles of equilateral
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Equilateral triangle: All three sides are equal.

Isosceles triangle: All two sides are equal.

Scalene triangle: No sides are equal.

Step-by-step explanation: Step 1: Label the given points as A, B, and C, and plot them as vertices of a triangle with connecting lines to draw the triangle we are working to identify.

Step 2: Calculate the side length AB using the distance formula.

Step 3: Calculate the side length BC using the distance formula.

Step 4: Calculate the side length AC using the distance formula.

Step 5: Compare the side lengths AB, BC, and AC from the previous steps to define the triangle type.

4/y+2 - 9/y-2 = 9/y^2-4
Evgesh-ka [11]
Going off the idea that this is 4/(y+2) - 9/(y-2) = 9/(y^2-4), let's first rewrite y^2-4 in the form of a^2-b^2, where a=y and b=2.
y/(y+2)-9/(y-2)=9/(y^2-2^2)
Now, use difference of squares: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
4/(y+2)-9/(y-2)=9/((y+2)(y-2))
Multiply both sides by the Least Common Denominator: (y+2)(y-2)
4(y-2)-9(y+2)=9
Then keep on simplifying until you get your answer
-5y-26=9
-5y=9+26
-5y=35
y=35/-5
y=-7
Yay! Our answer is y=-7!

In testing the lethal concentration of a chemical found in polluted water. it is found that a certain concentration will kill 20
sasho [114]

Answer:

a) 0.1091

b) 0.9994

c) 0.5886

Step-by-step explanation:

X = the number of fish out of 20 that die after 24 hours

x = 0, 1, 2, . . . , 20

X~ Binomial (n= 20, p =0.20)

P(14 survive) = P(X = 6)

= nC_r p^r q^{n-r}= 20C_6 0.2^6\times0.8^{14}=0.1091

Similarly we can find out

P(at least 10 survive) = P( X <= 10 ) = (Using technology) = 0.9994

P(at most 16 will survive) = P(X <= 16) = (Using technology) = 0.5886
