Answer:

  8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the length of the third side. The first side is 7 ft more, so is (t +7). The second side is 1 ft shorter than 3 times the third side, so is (3t -1). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  21 = (t +7) +(3t -1) +t

  21 = 5t +6

  15 = 5t . . . . . . . subtract 6

  3 = t . . . . . . . divide by 5

Then the length of the second side is ...

  3t -1 = 3·3 -1 = 8 . . . . feet

The length of the second side is 8 feet.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The first side is 3+7 = 10 ft. So the three side lengths are 10 ft, 8 ft, 3 ft.

The hypotenuese of an isosceles right triangle is 16 inches. The midpoints of its sides are connected to form an inscribed trian
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

  256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the first inscribed triangle are 1/2 those of the original, so its area is (1/2)² = 1/4 of the original. The area of the original is ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(16/√2)(16/√2) = 64 . . . . square inches

The sum of an infinite series with first term 64 and common ratio 1/4 is ...

  S = a1/(1 -r) . . . . . . for first term a1 and common ratio r

  = 64/(1 -1/4) = 64(4/3) = 256/3 . . . . square inches

The sum of the areas of the triangles is 256/3 = 85 1/3 square inches.

A bag contains 6 red balls and 3 blue balls. 4 balls are selected at random. find the probability of selecting 4 red balls.
geniusboy [140]
Assuming that the balls are not replaced; 

\frac{6}{9}* \frac{5}{8}* \frac{4}{7}* \frac{3}{6}= 5/42 

(the numbers are decreasing in the denominator as you are presumably taking out the red balls. In the denominator, there is one less ball each time since you took out a red one). 

Therefore, the probability of selected 4 red balls consecutively without replacement is 5/42. 

Hope I Helped :)
