Answer:

6, 21, and 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all side lengths in that triangle. We're given the perimeter as 50 inches, and the side lengths as n, 3n + 3, and 2n + 11.

  • This means that we can algebraically solve the equation n + 3n + 3 + 2n + 11 = 50

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (n+3n+2n) + (3+11) = 50
  • 6n + 14 = 50

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

  • 6n + 14 - 14 = 50 - 14
  • 6n = 36

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

  • 6n/6 = 36/6
  • n = 6

Step 4: Plug in the value of n as 6 in each side.

  • (6) + (3(6) + 3) + (2(6)+11) = 50
  • (6) + (18+3) + (12+11) = 50
  • (6) + (21) + (23) = 50  

Therefore, the side lengths are 6, 21, and 23 inches.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡

Answer:

Train A - 50 miles per hour

train B - 30 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x mph be the speed of the train B, then the speed of the train A is (x+20) mph.

In 3 hours,

  • train A travels 3(x+20) miles
  • train B travels 3x miles

In total, they covered the distance of 240 miles, so

3(x+20)+3x=240\ \ \ \text{[Divide by 3]}\\ \\x+20+x=80\\ \\2x=80-20\\ \\2x=60\\ \\x=30\ mph\\ \\x+20=30+20=50\ mph

Quadrilateral jklm is a rhombus. the diagonals intersect at n. if the measure of angle jkl is 104°, find the measure of angle jk
Paul [167]
The diagram of rhombus JKLM is shown in the diagram below

A rhombus is a quadrilateral with four equal sides and its diagonals intersect perpendicular to each other (makes 90° angles). Opposite angles are equal (the same with a parallelogram). Each diagonal bisects the angle at J, K, L, and M equally

If angle JKL is 104°, the measurement of angle JKN is 104÷2=51°
