Answer: 76 ft2
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter = 2 side length +base length
40 = 2s +12
Solving for s:
40-12 =2s
28 =2s
28/2=s
14ft =side
Since the line which bisects and isosceles triangles is at a right angle to the base we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height (see attachment)
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case 14) and a and b are the other sides. (Base divided by 2 is one side, the other side is the height)
Replacing with the values given:
14^2= 6^2 + x^2
196 = 36 + x^2
196-36 = x^2
160 = x^2
√160 = x
x = 12.64 (height)
Area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 x base x height
A = 1/2 x 12 x 12.64 = 76 ft2
Firstly I would revert these back to improper fractions:
So 17/6 ÷ 24/5
Then I would use keep, change, flip
So 17/6 * 5/24
Finally simplify
85/144
Final Answer: 85/144
Answer: $10
Step-by-step explanation:
let x = the price of green fabric, then x+2 = blue fabric price
8x+5(x+2)=62
8x+5x+10=62
13x+10=62
13x=52
x=4
price of green fabric=$4
price of blue fabric=$6
4+6=$10
