If it is isosceles, than the legs are the same. We will call them X. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 (base * height). But the base and the height are both X. So the area (18) is equal to 1/2 (x * x), or 1/2(x^2). This means that 36 = x^2. Thus, the length of each side is 6 inches. You can check this work by plugging those into the formula for area. You will find that it equals 18.

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

100% equals to 1 because 75% = 0.75 so then just add 25% = 0.25 so 0.25+0.75=1

A pet store contains 35 light green parakeets (14 females and 21 males) and 44 sky blue parakeets (28 females and 16 males). You

You can use this formula <span>P(AorB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AandB) 

Given:
35 LG (14 F & 21 M)
44 SB (28 F & 16 M)

Req:
- the probability that it is a female (F) or a sky blue (SB)

Sol:
</span>P(F or SB) = P(F) + P(SB) - P(F and SB) 
                 = [(14 F + 28 F)/(35 + 44)] + [(44 SB)/(35 + 44)] - [(28 F)/(35 + 44)]
                 = 53.16 + 55.70 - 35.44
                 = 73.42%

You have to deduct 28 female parakeets from 44 sky blue parakeets because the 28 parakeets are already accounted for in the female parakeets. You can also think of how many ways you can choose a female parakeet and a sky blue parakeet. Add all female parakeets (14 + 28) = 42. Sky blue parakeet equaled to 44. Minus the 28 female parakeets included in the sky blue parakeet to avoid double counting. 42 + 44 - 28 = 58 divided by 79 (35 + 44) total parakeets = 73.42%

PLEASE HELP ME!!!
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

350 * D \geq 1400

D\ge 4

This means that the family must travel for at least 4 days.

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Rate = 350\ miles\ daily

Distance = 1400\ miles\ (atleast)

Required

Determine and solve the inequality

The number of days is represented with D

So:

On any D number of days, the family would have covered a distance of 350 * D miles

If the total distance is at least 1400, then the inequality is:

350 * D \geq 1400

[The term "At least" is used to represent <em>greater than or equal to</em>]

350 * D \geq 1400

Divide through by 350

\frac{350 * D}{350} \ge \frac{1400}{350}

D \ge \frac{1400}{350}

D\ge 4

<em>This means that the family must travel for at least 4 days.</em>
