Answer:

11 cm, 19 cm, 27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangles have 3 sides and perimeter is the sum of all side lengths. So the equation is x + (2x-3) + (2x+5) = 57.

x + (2x-3) + (2x+5) = 57

x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57

x + 2x + 2x - 3 + 5 = 57

5x + 2 = 57

5x = 57 -2

5x = 55

x = 11

Now that we know the value of x, we can figure out the side lengths. The first side (x) is 11 cm long, the second side (2x - 3) is 19 cm, and the third side (2x + 5) is 27 cm long.

<u>Answer with step by step explanation</u>

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the sides.

There fore,

<h3>a) x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57</h3>

Now, let us solve the above equation and find the value of x.

Let us solve.

x + 2x - 3 + 2x + 5 = 57

Combine like terms.

5x -3 + 5 = 57

5x + 2 = 57

5x = 57 - 2

5x = 55

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 11

And now they've asked us to write the lengths of three sides.

Let us write now.

<h3>b) x = <u>11 cm</u></h3><h3> ( 2x - 3 ) ⇒ ( 2 × 11 - 3 ) ⇒ ( 22 - 3 ) ⇒ <u>19 cm</u></h3><h3>( 2x + 5 ) ⇒ ( 2 × 11 + 5 ) ⇒ ( 22 + 5 ) ⇒ <u>27 cm</u></h3>

Let me know if you have any other questions. :)

write an Equation for the angle relationship shown in the figure and solve for x. Find the measures of RQS and TQU?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

∠RQS = 21°

∠TQU = 28°

Step-by-step explanation:

90° + 221° + 3x + 4x = 360°

combine like terms:

7x + 311° = 360°

subtract 311° from each side of the equation:

7x = 49°

divide both sides by 7:

x = 7°

∠RQS = 3x = 3(7°) = 21°

∠TQU = 4x = 4(7°) = 28°

Verdich [7]

Mike ($3.75): x

Friends ($3.75): 3x

Mike   +  Friends   ≤  25

3.75(x) + 3.75(3x)  ≤ 25

3.75x  +  11.25x   ≤ 25

                15x      ≤ 25

                 \frac{15x}{15}      ≤  \frac{25}{15}

                  x        ≤ 1\frac{2}{3}

Answer: they can rent the paddleboards for 1 hour 40 minutes

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

a) P(X<50)=0.9827

b) P(X>47)=0.4321

c) P(-1.5<z<1.5)=0.8664

Step-by-step explanation:

We will calculate the probability based on a random sample of one moped out of the population, normally distributed with mean 46.7 and standard deviation 1.75.

a) This means we have to calculate P(x<50).

We will calculate the z-score and then calculate the probability accordign to the standard normal distribution:

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{50-46.7}{1.75}=\dfrac{3.7}{1.75}=2.114\\\\\\P(X

b) We have to calculatee P(x>47).

We will calculate the z-score and then calculate the probability accordign to the standard normal distribution:

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{47-46.7}{1.75}=\dfrac{0.3}{1.75}=0.171\\\\\\P(X>47)=P(z>0.171)=0.4321

c) If the value differs 1.5 standard deviations from the mean value, we have a z-score of z=1.5

z=\dfrac{(\mu+1.5\sigma)-\mu}{\sigma}=\dfrac{1.5\sigma}{\sigma}=1.5

So the probability that maximum speed differs from the mean value by at most 1.5 standard deviations is P(-1.5<z<1.5):

P(-1.5
