Answer:
c. 25
Step-by-step explanation:
BOTH SIDES HAVE X SO YOU PUT THEM IN A 1 EQUATION WAY AND SOLVE X:
4X+1=2X+23
4X-2X=23-1
2X=32
X= 32/2=11
THEN YOU GO TO THE BASE AND CHANGE X AND SOLVE THE EQUATION WITH X=11
3x11-8
33-8= 25=BASE
Well what’s the base and what’s the height and then times then
Answer:
<u>The correct answer is 58 1/2 feet. See below to understand the difference of both methods.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Let's review the information provided to us for solving the question using both methods:
Area of each student = 4 1/2 square feet
Number of students = 13
2. Let's use the first method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 9/2 (Improper fraction because the numerator, 9 is bigger than the denominator, 2)
9/2 * 13 = 117/2
<u>117/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
3. Let's use the second method to solve the question:
4 1/2 = 4 + 1/2 (Using addition to rewrite the fraction)
(4 + 1/2) * 13 = (4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) (Distributive property of the multiplication)
(4 * 13) + (1/2 * 13) = 52 + 13/2 = 52 + 6 1/2
<u>52 + 6 1/2 = 58 1/2 square feet</u>
Because the 2 sides of the triangle are the same, they are both 21, the two bottom angles would also be the same.
The 3 inside angles of a triangle must equal 180 degrees.
The top angle is given as 38, so the remaining two angles must equal 180 - 38 = 142 degrees.
Since the 2 bottom angles would be the same, divide 142 by 2 to get x.
X = 142 / 2 = 71 degrees.
