Mathematics

Answer:

9 pigs

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following numbers of heads:

pigs (p) + chickens (c) = 16 animal heads (1)

And the following numbers of feet:

4p + 2c = 50 animal feet   (2)

From equation (1):

p = 16 - c (3)

By entering equation (3) into (2) we have:

4(16 - c) + 2c = 50

64 - 4c + 2c = 50

c = 7

Now, entering the value of c into equation (3) we have the next value of p:

p = 16 - c

p = 16 - 7

p = 9

Therefore, the number of pigs that Henry has is 9.

I hope it helps you!

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle in which side
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the below figure attached with this question.

It is given that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.

From the below figure it is clear that the vertices of triangle are A(-2,-4), B(2,-1) and C(3,-4).

Distance formula:

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using this formula, we get

AB=\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2+(-1-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{16+9}=5

BC=\sqrt{(3-2)^2+(-4-(-1))^2}=\sqrt{1+9}=\sqrt{10}

AC=\sqrt{(3-(-2))^2+(-4-(-4))^2}=\sqrt{25}=5

Now,

Perimeter of triangle ABC = AB + BC + AC

                        =5+\sqrt{10}+5

                        =10+\sqrt{10}

So, perimeter of triangle ABC is 10+\sqrt{10} units.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
