Asculptor is designing her new triangular masterpiece. in her scale drawing, the shortest side of the triangular piece to be made measures 4 cm.  the longest side of the drawing measures 34 cm.  the longest side of the actual triangular piece to be sculpted must be 16.9 m long. how long will the shortest side of this piece be?

the answer is 24

step-by-step explanation:

as specified, none of the above.

so, find an expression similar to p−m ÷ pn equal to one of the answers.

first try adding parenthesis to make it unambiguous.

programming language would parse to

p - (m÷p)n = p - mn÷p

if multiplication binds tighter than division, we get

p - (m÷(pn))

or it might be

(p-m) ÷ (pn) = 1÷n - m÷(pn)

or

((p-m)÷p)n = (pn-mn)÷p = n - mn÷p

none of these match any of the answers.
