Answer:

Length of the third side is 18.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. The third side is 7 less than twice the length of one side of the other side.

Let two equal side of the isosceles triangle = x cm

and third side = y cm

Then y = ( 2x - 7 ) --------(1)

Perimeter of the triangle is 44 cm

then x + x + y = 44

2x + y + 44 -----------(2)

Now we substitute the value of y from equation (1) to equation (2)

2x + ( 2x - 7 ) = 44

4x - 7 = 44

4x = 44 + 7

4x = 51

x = \frac{51}{4} = 12.75 cm

Now we put x = 12.75 in equation (1)

y = 2(12.75) - 7

  = ( 25.5 - 7 )

  = ( 18.5 )cm

Therefore, length of third side is ( 18.5 ) cm.

Jason plotted the points (4,4) and (-4,-4) on a coordinate plane. He says that the distance between the two points is 8 units be
Nataly_w [17]
The distance between two points is calculated through the equation,
                                 d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
Substituting the known values from the given above,
                                d = √(4 - -4)² + (4 - -4)²
                                  d = 8√2 = 11.31
The distance between the points is approximately equal to 11.31. The value that Jason presented is not the real distance because it does not account for the other set of coordinates.
