The perimeter of a triangle is 82 feet. One side of the triangle is 2 times the second side. The third side is 2 feet longer than the second side. Find the length of each side.

Side 1: 40 feet

Side 2: 20 feet

Side 3: 22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Side 1 is twice the length of side 2 and side 2 is 20 feet, which means side 1 is 40 feet. Side 3 is the the length of the second side plus 2, which means it has a length of 22 feet.

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!
