we know that
<u>The Side-Splitter Theorem</u>: States that If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and intersects the other two sides, then it divides those two sides proportionally
so
in this problem
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
The segment length is GJ
Let's call the lengths of our two types of sides <em />
and
.
The two sides will that our 1.3 inches bigger than the third side will be have length x, and the length of the other side will be known as y. Thus,
.
Considering this, we can add our sides together and set this value equal to 8, given the information in the problem:
Now, let's solve for y.
Now, we are not done yet. We must determine the true lengths of all of our sides. Using the equation we found earlier, the length of the two bigger sides is
inches and the length of our smaller side is simply
inches.
To verify, we can add these sides together and check that they equal 8:
3.1 + 3.1 + 1.8 = 8 ✔
Answer:
3285
Step-by-step explanation:
5x3144=15720
3990
15720+3990=19710
19710/6=3285
Answer:
x=15
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45
then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45
then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15
