ABC is an isosceles triangle with a perimeter

Mathematics
1 answer:
seraphim [82]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • 27 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>Given</h3>
  • ABC is isosceles
  • The sides are, AB = 3x - 3, AC = 3x - 3 and BC = 2x
  • The perimeter is, P = 74 cm
<h3>Find the value of x first </h3>

Use the perimeter formula

  • P = a + b + c, where a, b and c are sides of the triangle

Substitute known values to get the equation

  • 3x - 3 + 3x - 3 + 2x = 74
  • 8x - 6 = 74
  • 8x = 80
  • x = 10
<h3>Find the sides</h3>
  • AB = AC = 3*10 - 3 = 27 cm
  • BC = 2*10 = 20 cm

As we see <u>the longest side is 27 cm</u>

Of the cars sold during the month of July, 89 had air conditioning, 99 had an automatic transmission, and 74 had power steering.
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

There are a total of 23 cars with air conditioning and automatic transmission but not power steering

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the cars that have Air conditioning, B the cars that have Automatic transmission and C the cars that have pwoer Steering. Lets denote |D| the cardinality of a set D.

Remember that for 2 sets E and F, we have that

|E \cup F| = |E| + |F| - |E \cap F|

Also,

|E| = |E ∩F| + |E∩F^c|

We now alredy the following:

|A| = 89

|B| = 99

|C| = 74

|A \cap B \cap C| = 5

|(A \cup B \cup C)^c| = 24

|A \ (B U C)| = 24 (This is A minus B and C, in other words, cars that only have Air conditioning).

|B \ (AUC)| = 65

|C \ (AUB)| = 26

|B \cap C| = 11

We want to know |(A∩B) \ C|. Lets calculate it by taking the information given and deducting more things

For example:

99 = |B| = |B ∩ C| + |B∩C^c| = 11 + |B∩C^c|

Therefore, |B∩C^c| = 99-11 = 88

And |A ∩ B ∩ C^c| = |B∩C^c| - |B∩C^c∩A^c| = |B∩C^c| - |B \ (AUC)| = 88-65 = 23.

This means that the amount of cars that have both transmission and air conditioning but now power steering is 23.
