Answer:

The school would have to give $300 and each side would be 100cm

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x - 8)cm = Side length

Solve for X

3(4x - 8) = 300

(Getting rid of the three)

(12x -24) = 300

(Getting rid of the 24)

(12x) = 324

(Getting rid of the 12)

(12x/12) = 324/12

X = 27

27 x 4

Side length = (108 - 8)

108 - 8 = 100cm

100 x 3 = 300cm (1cm = $1)

$300

Each Side would be 100cm

If M is the centroid of triangle GHI, HL=45, JI=63, and KG=60, find the missing measures

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Part a) $ML=15\ units$

Part b) $HM=30\ units$

Part c) $JM=21\ units$

Part d) $MI=42\ units$

Part e) $GM=40\ units$

Part f) $MK=20\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

A <u><em>centroid</em></u> of a triangle is the point where the three medians of the triangle meet. A median of a triangle is a line segment from one vertex to the mid point on the opposite side of the triangle.

The centroid is located two thirds of the distance from any vertex of the triangle

Part a) Find ML

we have

$HL=45\ units$

we know that

$ML=\frac{1}{3}HL$

substitute the given value

$ML=\frac{1}{3}(45)$

$ML=15\ units$

Part b) Find HM

we have

$HL=45\ units$

we know that

$HM=\frac{2}{3}HL$

substitute the given value

$HM=\frac{2}{3}(45)$

$HM=30\ units$

Part c) Find JM

we have

$JI=63\ units$

we know that

$JM=\frac{1}{3}JI$

substitute the given value

$JM=\frac{1}{3}(63)$

$JM=21\ units$

Part d) Find MI

we have

$JI=63\ units$

we know that

$MI=\frac{2}{3}JI$

substitute the given value

$MI=\frac{2}{3}(63)$

$MI=42\ units$

Part e) Find GM

we have

$KG=60\ units$

we know that

$GM=\frac{2}{3}KG$

substitute the given value

$GM=\frac{2}{3}(60)$

$GM=40\ units$

Part f) Find MK

we have

$KG=60\ units$

we know that

$MK=\frac{1}{3}KG$

substitute the given value

$MK=\frac{1}{3}(60)$

$MK=20\ units$

Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same poi

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Alan: 200 m/min

Brian: 150 m/min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two cyclists, Alan and Brian, are racing around oval track of length 450m on the same direction simultaneously from the same point. Alan races around the track in 45 seconds before Brian does and overtakes him every 9 minutes.

To find : What are their rates, in meters per minute?

Solution :

Let n represent the number of laps that Alan completes in 9 minutes.

Then n-1 is the number of laps Brian completes.

45 seconds = 3/4 minutes.

The difference in their lap times in minutes per lap is

$\frac{9}{(n -1)}-\frac{9}{n} =\frac{3}{4}$
