In a certain triangle, the longest side is 1 foot longer than the second longest side, and the second longest side is 1 foot longer than the shortest side. If the
perimeter is 21 feet, how many feet long is the shortest side?*

This means that the isotope of silicon with a mass number of 28 is by far the most common of these three isotopes.

Explanation:

The abundance of Si-28 is 92.23%. Si-29 is 4.68% and Si-30 is 3.09%.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
