Answer:

42 ft, 60 ft, 84 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the shortest side , then the other 2 sides are 2x and x + 18, so

x + 2x + x + 18 = 186 , that is

4x + 18 = 186 ( subtract 18 from both sides )

4x = 168 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 42

Then lengths of sides are

x = 42 ft

2x = 2 × 42 = 84 ft

x + 18 = 42 + 18 = 60 ft

Find the diagonal of a square whose sides are of the given measure. Given = 6sqrt2
jeyben [28]

Answer:

=12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

When a square is cut along one diagonal, it forms a right angled triangle whose legs are the sides of the square and the hypotenuse is the diagonal of the square.

Therefore, the Pythagoras theorem is used to find the hypotenuse.

a² + b² = c²

(6√2)²+(6√2)²=c²

72+72=c²

c²=144

c=√144

=12

The diagonals of the square measure 12 units each.
