<u>Answer:</u>  

The difference between the longest and shortest sides of the triangle is 4 cm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

<em>Step Number One:</em>

Let the shortest side of the triangle have a length of x.

The middle side of the triangle has a length that is half of 3 times the length of the shortest side. This can be written as 1/2*3x, which equals 3/2x.

The longest side of the triangle has a length that is 2 centimeters longer than the length of the middle side. This can be written as 3/2x + 2.

<em>Step Number Two: </em>

The perimeter of the triangle, which can be found by adding the lengths of all of the sides of the triangle, is 18 centimeters. This can be shown by the following equations:

Shortest Side + Middle Side + Longest Side = Perimeter

x + 3/2x + 3/2x + 2 = 18

4x + 2 = 18

4x = 16

x = 16/4

x = 4

<em>Step Number Three: </em>

This means that the shortest side of the triangle has a length of 4 centimeters and the longest side of the triangle has a length of 8 centimeters.

8 cm - 4 cm = 4 cm

Maureen earned some money doing odd jobs last summer and put it in a savings account that earns 9% interest compounded quarterly
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Maureen earned $123.19 doing odd jobs

Step-by-step explanation:

The compound interest formula is given by:

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A(t) is the amount of money after t years, P is the principal(the initial sum of money), r is the interest rate(as a decimal value), n is the number of times that interest is compounded per unit year and t is the time in years for which the money is invested or borrowed.

In this question:

Compounded quarterly means that n = 4

10 years, so t = 10

9% interest, so r = 0.09

There is $300.00 in the account, which means that A = 300

How much did Maureen earn doing odd jobs?

This is P.

A(t) = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}

300 = P(1 + \frac{0.09}{4})^{4*10}

(1.0225)^{40}P = 300

P = \frac{300}{(1.0225)^{40}}

P = 123.19

1. Round this number to the nearest hundred.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

1. 320   2. 580

Step-by-step explanation:

when you round 320, it is 320 because the hundredths place is 0, which is under 5 so the numbers wouldn't change.

When you round 579, the hundredths place is a 9, which is over 5 so you add 1 to seven to get 8.

Help! I’ll give BRAINLIEST!
iren [92.7K]

It’s letter C.

If you start at point (0,0) and go up two over one (rise over run) to the left, you’ll be at (-1,2). Go up two over one again to the left to get to (-2,4). Your equation would be: y=-2x+0 (0 because you started at 0 so your y-intercept is 0) though since it’s +0 you can leave that out and have y=-2x. It’s a negative slope because the line would be going down to the right.
