Answer:

8 in, 8 in and 20 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the equal sides of the isosceles triangle be x, then

The base = 2.5x

Sum the 3 sides and equate to the perimeter of 36

x + x + 2.5x = 36

4.5x = 36 ( divide both sides by 4.5 )

x = 8

Thus the 2 equal legs = 8 in

base = 2.5x = 2.5 × 8 = 20 in

levacccp [35]

Answer:

ρ (density) = mass / volume

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass = 3g

Volume = 16ml^3


Then ρ= 3g / 16ml

ρ = .1875 g/ml^3

Write an equation of the line passes through the given points (6,-3),(1,2)
adoni [48]

Answer:

y = -x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

    = ( 2 - -3)/( 1 - 6)

   ( 2+3)/( 1-6)

   5/ -5

   -1

The slope is -1

We can use slope intercept form

y = mx+b  where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -x+b

Substitute a point into the equation

2 = -1 +b

Add 1 to each side

2+1 = -1+1+b

3 = b

y = -x+3

What is the area of the polygon ABCDE?
Setler [38]
The answer is 73.5

To make it a lot easier split the shapes into a rectangle and triangle.
The rectangle is a tad easier because the measurements are given here.

5 x 12 = 60 (rectangle area)

To find the triangle find the base then height. The base is 3cm and the height is 9cm (shown above)

9 x 3 = 27
Divide that by 2 because it's a triangle and you get 13.5.

Add those two numbers and voila you have your answer of 73.5.
