This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length , a, that are longer than the length of the base , b. The perimeter of the

triangle is 15.7 cm. The equation 2a + b = 15.7 models this information. If one of the longer sides is 6.3 cm, which equation can be used to find the length of the base ?

We are give the equation of the perimeter of the triangle as follows:
2a + b = 15.7 
where b represents the base.

Now, if we want to calculate the length of the base, all we have to do is isolate the b in one side of the equation as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2a

We know that a = 6.3 cm, therefore, the length of the base can be calculated as follows:
b = 15.7 - 2(6.3) = 3.1 cm

What is a simplified eCarlotta thinks that 3y + 5y3 is the same as 8y4. Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?Xpression
stira [4]

Questions:

(a) What is a simplified expression for (x + y) – (x – y)?

(b) Carlotta thinks that 3y + 5y^3 is the same as 8y^4. Which statement shows that it is NOT the same?

Answer:

(x + y) - (x - y) =2y

3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a):

Given

(x + y) - (x - y)

Required

Simplify

(x + y) - (x - y)

Open brackets

(x + y) - (x - y) = x + y - x + y

Collect Like Terms

(x + y) - (x - y) = x - x+ y  + y

(x + y) - (x - y) = y  + y

(x + y) - (x - y) =2y

Solving (b):

Given

3y + 5y^3 and 8y^4

Required

Which expression shows they are not the same

The expression that shows this is:

3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

Take for instance; y=2

Substitute 2 for y in 3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4

3*2 + 5*2^3 \ne 8*2^4

Evaluate all exponents

9 + 5*8 \ne 8*16

9 + 40 \ne 128

49 \ne 128

The above expression supports 3y + 5y^3 \ne 8y^4
