An isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 18 cm. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length of its base b.

So.... notice the picture below

now, we know what the "height" or "altitude" is
now, we also know the perimeter is 18cm

so, k + k + b = 18
or 2k + b = 18
thus  \bf k=\cfrac{18-b}{2}

so... one can say that \bf \textit{area of a triangle}=A=\cfrac{1}{2}bh\qquad 
\begin{cases}
b=b
\\\\
h=\sqrt{k^2-\left( \frac{b}{2} \right)^2}
\\\\
h=\sqrt{k^2-\frac{b^2}{4}}\\
--------------\\
k=\frac{18-b}{2}\qquad thus\\
--------------\\
h=\sqrt{\left( \frac{18-b}{2} \right)^2-\frac{b^2}{4}}
\end{cases}\\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
A=\cfrac{1}{2}\cdot b\cdot \sqrt{\left( \frac{18-b}{2} \right)^2-\frac{b^2}{4}}

and you can simplify it if you wish.. not sure you have to

Answer:

standard deviation = ±0.4667

Step-by-step explanation:

In Normal distribution, approximately 68% of all the data lie within 1 standard deviation from the mean, approximately 95% of all the data lie within 2 standard deviations from the mean and approximately 99.7% of all the data lie within 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Therefore, for a confidence interval of 99.7% the standard deviation of the x¯ must be 3 standard deviations from the mean,

3σ = ±1.4

σ = ±1.4/3

σ = ±0.4667

Therefore, 0.4667 is the standard deviation that x¯ must have so that 99.7% of all samples give an x¯ within 1.4 point of μ.

I neeed helppppp plssssssssssssssss
Ira Lisetskai [31]
Well since there are 8 total possible outcomes you would take 8 and divide it by the total of green parts which would be 2 so you would do 8 divided by 2 which would give you 4 so your answer would be 4

Hope this helps

If a single card is drawn from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability that it is either a heart or king
Valentin [98]
There are 4 of each card so 4 kings and there is 13 cards so 13 chances of a heart so 4/52+13/52= 17/52 is your answer.

Which theorem would be used to write 4x+4=92 in the diagram below?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer: C) Alternate interior angles

The blue angles marked are inside the parallel lines, so they are considered interior. They are on alternating sides of the transversal line. The angles are only congruent when the lines are parallel.
