Answer:

1st side= 4m

2nd side= 8m

3rd side= 12m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first, second and third side of the triangle be a, b and c meters respectively.

a= b -4 -----(1)

c= 3a -----(2)

Perimeter of triangle

= a +b +c

= 24

a +b +c= 24 -----(3)

From (1): b= a +4 -----(4)

Subst. (2) and (4) into (3):

a +(a +4) +3a= 24

3a +a +a +4= 24

5a +4= 24

5a= 24 -4

5a= 20

Divide both sides by 5:

a= 20 ÷5

a= 4

Substitute a= 4 into (4):

b= 4 +4

b= 8

Substitute a= 4 into (2):

c= 3(4)

c= 12

Thus, the lengths of the first, second, and third side of the triangle are 4m, 8m and 12m respectively.

Susan rolled a die 1,086 times. Which of the following would be a good estimate of the number of times she rolled the number 3 o
adell [148]

Hello!

This is a problem about probability.

What we would first do is find the theoretical probability that Susan would roll the number 3 on a die.

Assuming that this is a fair six sided die, there is only one face with the number 3, and there are 6 sides, meaning that the probability that Susan rolls a 3 would be \frac{1}{6}.

Now, Susan is rolling a die 1,086, meaning that we can divide this number by 6 to find the theoretical number of times that Susan would roll the number 3 on this die.

You should get 181 times, which would be a good estimate of how many times she could roll the number 3.

Hope this helps!

Solve, graph, and give interval notation for the compound inequality:
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Inequality 1

                        7(x + 2) - 8 ≥ 13

                        7x + 14 - 8 ≥ 13

                        7x + 6 ≥ 13

                         7x ≥ 13 - 6

                         7x ≥ 7

                           x ≥ 7/7

                           x ≥ 1

Inequality 2

                       8x - 3 < 4x - 3

                        8x - 4x < - 3 + 3

                               4x < 0

                                 x < 0 / 4

                                 x < 0

How many times would you expect to role a 2 on a 6 sided die in 50 trials
Keith_Richards [23]
The six sided die has 6 sides (with numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6).  That's why the probability to roll number 2 in one trial is equal to \frac{1}{6}.If you'll dol  50 trials, then you can expect \frac{50}{6}=  \frac{25}{3} times to roll number 2 (8 or 9 times).
