The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 7.5m, and the length of a leg is 2m. Find the length of the base.

1 answer:

5 0

The legs of an isosceles triangle are congruent; they have the same length, so if one leg measures 2 m, the other leg also measures 2 m.

2m + 2m + b = 7.5 m

b + 4 m = 7.5 m

b = 3.5 m

The length of the base is 3.5 m.

9x^2 + 24x + 20 = 4 Solve this by factoring. Thank you!

boyakko [2]

Note that,

$9x^2+24x+20=4\Longrightarrow9x^2+24x+16$

Which factors to,

$(3x+4)^2=0\Longrightarrow3x+4=0$

And simplifies to solution C,

$\boxed{x=-\dfrac{4}{3}}$

Hope this helps.

Any additional questions please feel free to ask.

Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 9

xxMikexx [17]

To formulate an equation to represent this, you must simply break apart each section and understand it. The equation is

10(1/2x+6)=9

We can get the "10" because it says "10 times the."
The "1/2x" because it says "half a number"
You will find the "+6" because it said "the sum of half a number and 6"
Is will almost always mean equals, as with this case. Therefore, because it says "is 9" we know it equals 9.
