Hey there! I’m happy to help!
We see that the two equal sides are longer than the base. This means that our a will be larger than b. The problem says that one of the longer sides is 6.3. Since the two longer sides are equal, that means that both longer sides are 6.3 cm. Therefore, we can simply subtract these two from the perimeter to find the shorter side, which is the base.
15.7-6.3-6.3=3.1
Therefore, the length of the base is 3.1 cm.
I hope that this helps!

This is because the sum of the two smaller sides in a triangle has to be larger than the bigger sides. 10+12=22.
22 is smaller than 24 which is the third side this no triangle is formed
Answer:
23.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Sketch a right triangle representing this situation. The length of the hypotenuse is 26 ft and the angle of elevation from ground to top of ladder is 65°. The "opposite side" is the reach of the ladder, which we'll call x.
Then:
opp
- sin 65° = ----------
- 26 ft
or (26 ft)(sin 65°) = opp side = height off the ground of top of ladder.
Evaluating this, we get:
(26 ft)(0.906) = 23.56 ft, or, rounded off, 23.6 ft
The ladder reaches 23.6 ft up the side of the building.
Answer:
B) First, find two areas using (4m x 10m = 40m2) and (8m x 3m = 24m2). Next, add (40m2 + 24m2 = 64m2).
Step-by-step explanation:
Samuel should is looking to find the area of his basement in order to cover it with carpet.
An area is calculated by multiplying two dimensions (so answers A and D are not it).
Best solution is to divide the area into two large rectangles then ADD them together to get the total area.
The only scenario where he could have subtracted something based on his plan is if he would have multiplied the 10m by the 12m then subtracted the area that is not part of his basement (7mx8m). He would have achieved the same result of course, but by going a different way.
