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.

Si agrupo mis lápices de 2 en dos me sobra 1; si lo hago de 3 en 3, también me sobra 1 y si lo hago de 5 en 5 ocurre los mismo.¿

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

31 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

What we must do is reduce the range of responses, the first thing is to limit the numbers to the interval between 30 and 40.

If it is two by two and there is one left, it means that all the pairs are eliminated.

If it is five in five and there is one left over, the ones ending in 5 are also eliminated.

If it is three by three and there is one left over, the 33 and 39 are eliminated.

Taking this into account, the possibilities are reduced to two numbers only, 31 and 37.

37 is discarded because when it is grouped from five to five, there are 2 left over.

So the answer is 31, you have 31 pencils.

henley needs to calculate the base of a trapezoid, b, given the area, a, in inches. She need to rearrange the formula a=16(b+4).

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

b = (a/16) - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 16(b + 4)

a = 16b + 64

16b + 64 = a

16b = a - 64

16b/16 = (a/16) - 64/16

b = (a/16) - 4

What is an equation of the line that passing through the points (-2, -5) and (4, 7) ?

monitta

Answer:

$y=2x-1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope-intercept formula: $y=mx+b$ where m is slope and b the y-intercept.

$(-2,-5)(4,7)$

Use the slope formula for when you have two points:

$\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)}=\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Insert values:

$\frac{7-(-5)}{4-(-2)}$

Simplify parentheses (negative+negative=positive)

$\frac{7+5}{4+2}$

Simplify

$\frac{12}{6}=2$

2 is the slope:

$y=2x+b$

Now use one of the points to find the y-intercept by substituting the x and y values into the equation. Solve for b:

(4,7)

$y=2x+b\\7=2(4)+b$

$7=8+b\\7-8=8-8+b\\7-8=b\\-1=b\\b=-1$

The y-intercept is -1. Insert into the equation. Change the + symbol to -:

$y=2x-1$

Done.
