Answer:

Each leg must be greater than 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the sum of the two sides must be greater than the third side.

If a, b and c are sides of the triangle, the following conditions must be satisfied.

i) a + b > c

ii) b + c > a

iii) c + a > b

It must be true for all the triangles.

We are given an isosceles triangle, in the isosceles triangle, two sides must be equal.

We are given the base as 14 units.

So, the sum of the lengths of the other two sides must be greater than 14.

Therefore, each leg must be greater than 7.

Solve the inequality:-3x-4/7 >5
Aliun [14]

x < -  \frac{13}{7}

add \frac{4}{7} to both sides

- 3x > \frac{4}{7} + \frac{35}{7}

- 3x > \frac{39}{7} ( divide both sides by - 3 )

note that when we divide/ multiply by a negative quantity we must reverse the inequality symbol

x < - \frac{13}{7}

adoni [48]

Answer:

21 consonant tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry has a bag containing 39 letter tiles, some consonants, and some vowels.

He selects a tile without looking and then replaces it. If he pulls 7 consonant tiles and 6 vowel tiles, which is the most likely number of consonant tiles in Henry's bag?

Step 1

We add up the number of tiles that he pulls out of the bag

= 7 consonant tiles + 6 vowel tiles

= 13 tiles

Step 2

We divide the total number of tiles in the bag by the total number of tiles that was pulled out of the bag

= 39 tiles ÷ 13 tiles

= 3

Step 3

The most likely number of consonant tiles in Henry's bag is calculated as:

3 × The number of consonant tiles that was pulled out of the bag.

Hence:

3 × 7 consonant tiles

= 21 consonant tiles.

Therefore, the most likely number of consonant tiles in Henry's bag is 21 consonant tiles.

A tortoise is walking in the desert. It walks at a speed of 5 meters per minute for 62.5 meters. For how many minutes does it wa
Sergio [31]
The question is asking for how many minutes it walks. Since it walks 5 meter per minute and walks 62.5 meters, you have to divide 62.5 by 5 to get how many minutes the tortoise walks. 62.5 divide by 5 is 12.5. in minutes, 0.5 is 30 seconds, therefore the tortoise walked for 12 minutes and 30 seconds or 12 1/2 minutes.

The population of a town doubled every 5 years from 1960 to 1975. What is the percentage increase in population in this period ?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

<h2>800%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the population

in 1965 → the population becomes 2p

in 1970 → the population becomes 2(2p) = 4p

in 1975 → the population becomes 2(4p) = 8p

 p  ——————> 100%

8p  ————-—-> x%

then

x=\frac{8p*100}{p}=800
