Answer: The three sides are 14, 14, 20

===================================

x = length of the two equal sides

x+6 = length of the third longer side

add up the three lengths x, x, x+6. Set it equal to the perimeter 48. Solve for x

x+x+x+6 = 48

3x+6 = 48

3x+6-6 = 48-6 ... subtract 6 from both sides

3x = 42

3x/3 = 42/3 ... divide both sides by 3

x = 14

If x = 14, then x+6 = 14+6 = 20

The three sides are 14, 14, 20

We can check this by adding up the three sides 14+14+20 = 28+20 = 48 and we get the right perimeter.

You have 2\3 of a pizza left from yesterday. You divide it into 4 equal pieces. What fraction of the pizza is each piece?​
Mrrafil [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

that means we divide 2/3 by 4.

2/3 / 4 = 2/3 / 4/1 = 2/3 × 1/4 = 2/12 = 1/6

so each quarter of the remaining 2/3 pizza is actually 1/6 of the complete pizza.

Which graph represents the polar curve r = 4cos(30)?
stepan [7]

The equation of the polar curve r = 4\cos(3\theta) is an even cosine function.

<h3>Polar curves</h3>

In geometry, polar curves are curves that are represented by the polar coordinates such that they are drawn around a fixed point

The equation of the polar curve is given as:

r = 4\cos(3\theta)

To graph the polar curve, we make use of the following representations:

  • r represents the y-axis
  • \theta represents the x-axis

Using the above representation, we can graph the polar curve

See attachment for the graph that represents r = 4\cos(3\theta)
