The length of the second side of a triangle is 24 cm shorter than twice the length of the first side. Using f for the first side and s for the second side, translate the sentence into an equation.

Respuesta :

f=First side
s=Second side

The equation would be:
s=f*2-24

Hope this helps!

Answer:

The required equation showing the sentence into equation is [tex]s=2f-24[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The length of the second side of a triangle is 24 cm shorter than twice the length of the first side.

To find : Using f for the first side and s for the second side, translate the sentence into an equation?

Solution :

Using, f for the first side and s for the second side.

According to question,

The statement is 'The length of the second side of a triangle is 24 cm shorter than twice the length of the first side'.

Twice the length of first side is [tex]2f[/tex].

Second side is 24 cm shorter than twice the length of the first side is [tex]s=2f-24[/tex]

Therefore, The required equation showing the sentence into equation is [tex]s=2f-24[/tex]
