The length of the longest slide is 5 inches. he other two sides will be 4  inches in length.

<h3>Length of the longest slide</h3>

Isosceles triangle

Given:

Total length=13 inches

Hence:

AC=BC<AB

Let AC=BC=x-1 inches

AB=x inches

Thus:

x-1+(x-1)+x=13

3x-2=13

3x=13+2

3x=15

divide both side by 3x

x=15/3

x=5 inches

Hence:

Other two side

x-1=5-1=4 inches

Therefore the length of the longest slide is 5 inches. he other two sides will be 4  inches in length.

Rachel runs 6 miles in 50 minutes. At the same rate, how many miles would she run in 35 minutes?
Naily [24]

Answer: 4.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So she ran 6 miles in 50 minutes how long will she run in 35 minutes?

So the equation will therefore be:

6=50

x=35

Cross multiply

6 x 35 = 50x

210 = 50x

Divide both sides by 50

The answer is 4.2 miles

Show how you solve the following two equations:<br> x – 15 = 32<br> x – 7.2 = 23.1
Lapatulllka [165]
Х - 15 = 32
х = 32 + 15
x = 47 (answer)
-----------------------
47 - 15 = 32
        32 = 32

х - 7.2 = 23,1
х = 23,1 + 7.2
х = 30,3 (answer)
---------------------------
30,3 - 7,2 = 23,1
         23,1 = 23,1

Write the formula for the volume of a square prism, V = s-h, in terms of h. Then find the height h of a square prism with volume
vodomira [7]

Answer:

h = \frac{3V}{s^2}

height (h) = 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of prism in terms of h (height):

V = \frac{1}{3}s^2h

V = \frac{s^2h}{3}

Multiply both sides by 3

V*3 = \frac{s^2h}{3}*3

3V = s^2h

Divide both sides by s^2

\frac{3V}{s^2} = \frac{s^2h}{s^2}

\frac{3V}{s^2} = h

h = \frac{3V}{s^2}

Find height (h) given V = 60 cm³ and side length (s) = 6 cm. Plug the values into the formula above:

h = \frac{3(60)}{6^2}

h = \frac{180}{36}

h = 5

Height = 5 cm

A pizza has a radius of 10 inches. A slice is removed. The length of the crust of the missing slice is 3 inches. What is the are
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The area of the missing slice is 15 inches ²

<h3>How to determine the area</h3>

From the information given, we can see that the pizza takes the form of a circle;

Area of the missing slice takes the shape of a triangle

Area of a triangle = 1/ 2 base × height

base = 10 inches

height = 3 inches

Area of missing slice = 1/ 2 × 10 × 3

Area = 1/ 2 × 30

Area = 15 inches ²

Thus, the area of the missing slice is 15 inches ²
