The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 2x - 3 inches long. the longer sides are 6 inches longer than the shortest side. t

Zolol [24]

Side 1 = short side = 2x-3
side 2 = longer side = (short side) + 6 = (2x-3)+6 = 2x+3
side 3 = side 2 = 2x+3

Side 2 and side 3 are the longer two congruent sides

Add up the three sides and set them equal to the given perimeter of 33. Solve for x

(side1)+(side2)+(side3) = perimeter
(2x-3)+(2x+3)+(2x+3) = 33
(2x+2x+2x) + (-3+3+3) = 33
6x+3 = 33
6x+3-3 = 33-3
6x = 30
6x/6 = 30/6
x = 5

If x = 5, then the longer sides are 2*x+3 = 2*5+3 = 10+3 = 13 inches each
(note: the short side is 2*x-3=2*5-3=10-3 = 7 inches)

Answer: 13 inches

When Justin goes to work, he drives at an average speed of 65 miles per hour. It takes about 1 hour and 30 minutes for Justin to

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Justin spends $14.24 on gas to travel to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Average speed at which Justin goes to work = 65 miles/hour

Time taken by Justin to arrive at work = 1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.5 hours [As 30 minutes =0.5 hours]

Distance he can travel per gallon of gas = 25 miles.

Cost of per gallon of gas = $3.65

Solution:

We first determine the distance Justin travels to work.

Distance = $Speed\times time$

Distance = $65\times 1.5 = 97.5\ miles$

Using unitary method to find the amount of gas required to cover the distance.

If 25 miles is covered in 1 gallon of gas

Then 1 mile will be covered in = $\frac{1}{25}$ gallons of gas

So, to cover 97.5 miles gas required = $\frac{1}{25}\times 97.5=3.9$ gallons of gas.

Using unitary method to find the cost of 3.9 gallons of gas.

Cost of 1 gallon of gas = $3.65

So, cost of 3.9 gallons of gas will be = $\$3.65\times 3.9=\$14.235\approx\$14.24$ (Answer)

An unmanned submarine ascends from the ocean floor at a rate of 2 meters per second. If the ocean floor is 4220 feet below sea l

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

a=4220-2t

This would be if we are finding the altitude of the submarine from the surface of the water(how many meters away from the surface it is). I don't know what it would be if you want to know from the bottom of the ocean.
