Answer:

The value of x is 2.7 and the equation used for finding the value of x is 7.5 = 2.1 + 2x.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

The isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 7.5 m .

if the shortest side, y measures 2.1 m

In the isosceles triangle two sides of the triangle are equal .

Let us assume that the two equal sides each of length x .

Thus

Perimeter = Sum of all sides

Perimeter = x + x + y

7.5 = 2x + 2.1

7.5 - 2.1 = 2x

5.4 = 2x

$x = \frac{5.4}{2}$

x = 2.7 m

Therefore the value of x is 2.7 and the equation used for finding the value of x is 7.5 = 2.1 +2x.

4^3 > 6^2 Is this right or not right if not what other sign needs to go there.

Bess [88]

Answer:

that is right

Step-by-step explanation:

because 4×4×4 equals 64 and 6×6 equals 37 so it is 4^3>6^2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$(\frac{3}{4})^6 \times (\frac{16}{9})^5=(\frac{4}{3})^{x+2}$

$\frac{3^6}{4^6} \cdot \frac{16^5}{9^5}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}$

$\frac{3^6}{4^6} \cdot \frac{(4^2)^5}{(3^2)^5}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}$

$\frac{3^6}{4^6} \cdot \frac{4^{10}}{3^{10}}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}$

$\frac{3^6}{3^{10}} \cdot \frac{4^{10}}{4^6}=\frac{4^{x+2}}{3^{x+2}}$

$3^{-4} \cdot 4^{4}=4^{x+2}3^{-(x+2)}$

This implies

x+2=4

and

-(x+2)=-4.

x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.

Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.

Multiply both sides by -1:

x+2=4

It is the same equation as the other.

You will get x=2 either way.

Let's check:

$(\frac{3}{4})^6 \times (\frac{16}{9})^5=(\frac{4}{3})^{2+2}$

$(\frac{3}{4})^6 \times (\frac{16}{9})^5=(\frac{4}{3})^{4}$

Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:

Left hand side gives 256/81.

Right hand side gives 256/81.

Both side are indeed the same for x=2.

I. Tell whether each statement is TRUE or FALSE. Refer to the figure below. Write your answer on the space provided.

Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

1. TRUE

2. TRUE

3. TRUE

4. TRUE

5. FALSE

6. TRUE

Step-by-step explanation:

1. From the diagram, we have that m∠2 and m∠7 are alternate interior angles

If m∠2 = 70° and m∠7 = 70°, then we have;

m∠2 = 70° = m∠7

m∠2 = m∠7

Therefore, the alternate interior angles of the lines l₁, and l₂ are equal, and therefore, the lines l₁ and l₂ are parallel, l₁ ║ l₂

TRUE

2. If m∠3 = 90° and m∠7 = 90°, therefore, the angle formed by the intersection of l₃ and l₂ = 90°

Therefore l₃ ⊥ l₂

TRUE

3. m∠5 and m∠7 are corresponding angles

If m∠5 = 85° and m∠7 = 85°, then, m∠5 = m∠7

Therefore, the corresponding angles formed by the lines l₁ and l₂ are equal, therefore;

l₁ ║ l₂

TRUE

4. Whereby we have, m∠1 = m∠5, we get;

m∠1 + m∠5 = 180° by sum of angles on a straight line

∴ m∠1 + m∠5 = m∠1 + m∠1 = 2·m∠1 = 180°

m∠1 = 180°/2 = 90°

∴ m∠1 = 90° = m∠5, and l₃ ⊥ l₁

TRUE

5. m∠1 and m∠8 are alternate exterior angles

If m∠1 = 98° and m∠8 = 82°

∴ m∠1 ≠ m∠8 and l₁ ∦ l₈

FALSE

6. Given that l₁║ l₂, then the angle formed between l₁ and l₃ will be equal to th angle formed between l₂ and l₃

Therefore;

If l₁║ l₂, and l₃ ⊥ l₁, then l₃ ⊥ l₂

(If l₁║ l₂, and l₃ is perpendicular to l₁, then l₃ is also perpendicular to l₂)

TRUE

Why do you divide by 60 after calculating the area of the trapezoid (to calculate the distance)? I got 900 but I don’t know why

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

What you are trying to do is a nice way to solve this problem. Without knowing any physics, you are using what math you know to get the answer. You are actually very close to being correct, and you are right. You do have to divide by 60.

Here's why and it is the one bit of physics you have to know.

The speed is km/hour. That word hour is the culprit. Your time is in minutes and you have to get it into hours. In physics, the units have to be consistent.

So ...

b1 = 19 minutes which is 19 min [1 hour / 60 minutes] = 19/60 = 0.31667 hour

b2 = 26 minutes which is 26 min [ 1 hour/60 minutes] = 26/60 = 0.4333 hour

h = 40 km/hour

Area = (0.31667 hour + 0.4333 hour)*40 km/hour /2

Area = 0.75 hour * 40 km/hr //2

Area = 15 km
