If the perimeter of an isosceles triangle with integral sides is 2017, how many different lengths are possible for the legs

Mathematics

Triss [41]4 years ago

Because the perimeter is 2017, the side lengths must add to 2017;
a+b+c=2017
An isosceles triangle has two sides of the same length, so b=a. These two sides of the same length are the "legs".
a+a+c=2017
2a+c=2017
Integral means integer (assuming this is not a calculus problem). So, the smallest possible length for side c is 1.
2a+1=2017
2a=2016
a=1008
The legs can be up to 1008 units long apiece. Because the legs must be integer values, 1008 different lengths are possible for the legs.

Molly earns a rebate each month on her movie tickets and books. She earns $0.25 for each movie ticket and $2 for each book. Last
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

8 books

Step-by-step explanation:

Earning for each ticket is $0.25 and for each book is $2

If total earning for 4 tickets and x books is $17, then the equation is:

  • 0.25*4 + 2x = 17
  • 1 + 2x = 17
  • 2x = 16
  • x = 16/2
  • x = 8

So Molly purchased 8 books

The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width. The area is 744 sqaure yards, find the length and width of the rectangle​
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

  • Length of rectangle is 31 yards and Width is 24 yards.

Given:

  • The length of a rectangle is 7 more than the width.
  • The area is 744 sqaure yards

Solution:

Let's assume Width of rectangle be x and Length of rectangle be x + 7 respectively.

Using formula

\\  \:  \:  \:  \:  \pink{ \dashrightarrow \:  \:  \:  \:  \sf { \underbrace{Area_{(Rectangle)} =  Length × Width  }}} \\  \\

On Substituting the required values, we get;

\\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x)(x + 7) = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x = 744 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 7x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\  \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf  {x}^{2}  + 31x - 24x - 744 = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x(x + 31) - 24 (x + 31) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf (x + 31)(x - 24) = 0 \\ \\ \\ \: \: \: \:  \dashrightarrow \: \: \: \: \sf x = 24 \:  or \:   - 31 \\ \\

As we know that width of the rectangle can't be negative. So x = 24

<u>Hence</u>,

  • Width of rectangle = x = 24 yards
  • Length of the rectangle = x + 7 = 31 yards

\thereforeLength of rectangle is 31 yards<u> </u>and Width is 24 yards.

Which equation would graph as a straight line? x2 – y = 0 y = x 2y = x2 y=1/2×2-1 x2 = 0
Gwar [14]

Answer:

y=1/2×2-1

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 – y = 0 yields a parabola.

y = x is straight but has a slope to make it increase/decrease.

2y = x2 yields a parabola.

x2 = 0 yields a parabola.

Please help me <br> can u explain how to do this
Ghella [55]

Answer:

x=41

Step-by-step explanation:

so since this is a right triangle you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing side. the two sides you know are 'a' and 'b' and the missing side is 'c'. the theorem says that:

a^2+b^2=c^2

so:

9^2 +40^2=c^2

solve for the exponents:

81 +1600=c^2

1681=c^2

and now, since 1681 is the missing side's length squared, we must find the square root of 1681, which is 41

hope this helps :)
