If lengths of two sides of an isosceles triangle are 4 and 12, what is perimeter of the triangle?

Red roses come 3 to a package, and white roses come 5 to a package. If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make

Katen [24]

Answer:

B :- 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A package of red rose contains = 3 pieces

A package of white rose contains = 5 pieces

If an equal number of red and white roses are wanted to make bouquets, what is the minimum number of each that can be purchased ?

Solution:

As here given that there are two types of package of roses, red roses come 3 pieces to each packet and white roses come 5 pieces to each packet and we have to find equal minimum number of red roses as well as white roses to be purchased, we will simply find the Lowest common multiple of 3 and 5.

Multiples of 3 :- 3, 6, 9,12, 15, 18, 21, 24

Multiples of 5 :- 5, 10, 15, 20, 25

Lowest common multiple is 15, that means 15 is the minimum number of pieces of each that can be purchased to make bouquets.

And number of packets of red rose have to purchase = 3 $\times$ 5 = 15, 5 packages.

And number of packets of white rose have to purchase = 5 $\times$ 3 = 15 , 3 packages.

1) Road Trip: Let’s say two friends are meeting at a playground. Mary is already at the park but her friend Bob needs to get there taking the shortest path possible. Bob has two way he can go - he can follow the roads getting to the park - first heading south 3 miles, then heading west four miles. The total distance covered following the roads will be 7 miles. The other way he can get there is by cutting through some open fields and walk directly to the park. If we apply Pythagoras's theorem to calculate the distance you will get:

(3)2 + (4)2 =

9 + 16 = C2

√25 = C

5 Miles. = C

Walking through the field will be 2 miles shorter than walking along the roads. .

2) Painting on a Wall: Painters use ladders to paint on high buildings and often use the help of Pythagoras' theorem to complete their work. The painter needs to determine how tall a ladder needs to be in order to safely place the base away from the wall so it won't tip over. In this case the ladder itself will be the hypotenuse. Take for example a painter who has to paint a wall which is about 3 m high. The painter has to put the base of the ladder 2 m away from the wall to ensure it won't tip. What will be the length of the ladder required by the painter to complete his work? You can calculate it using Pythagoras' theorem:

(5)2 + (2)2 =

25 + 4 = C2

√100 = C

5.3 m. = C

Thus, the painter will need a ladder about 5 meters high.

3) Buying a Suitcase: Mr. Harry wants to purchase a suitcase. The shopkeeper tells Mr. Harry that he has a 30 inch of suitcase available at present and the height of the suitcase is 18 inches. Calculate the actual length of the suitcase for Mr. Harry using Pythagoras' theorem. It is calculated this way:

(18)2 + (b)2 = (30)2

324 + b2 = 900

B2 = 900 – 324

b= √576

= 24 inches
