P = s + (s + 5) + (s + 5) This represents the two sides that are 5 inches longer than the base (s + 5) and the base (s).
Simplifying.
100 = 3s + 10
subtract 10 from both sides
 90 = 3s
divide both sides by 3
30 = s
base = 30
sides = 35

CHECK 30 + 35 + 35 = 100

If someone can please answer the question in the picture thatd be great

Answer:

≈ 20.8 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A right triangle is formed between the wall, the ground and the ladder.

The ladder is the hypotenuse , the wall and ground are the legs.

let h be the height of the wall, then using Pythagoras' identity

h² + 33² = 39²

h² + 1089 = 1521 ( subtract 1089 from both sides )

h² = 432 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = \sqrt{432} ≈ 20.8 ft ( to the nearest tenth )

If h(x) = 4x – 3 and p(x) = x2 – 3x, find p(-3)<br><br> 18<br> 0<br> -3
navik [9.2K]

Answer: p(-3)=18

Step-by-step explanation:

To find p(-3), you plug -3 into p(x) and solve.

p(-3)=(-3)²-3(-3)               [exponent]

p(-3)=9-3(-3)                    [multiply]

p(-3)=9+9                         [add]

p(-3)=18

Now we found that p(-3)=18.
