Answer:
Side a = 35ft
Side b = 35ft
Side c = 20ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c
In an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal to each other.
So, Side a = Side b
In the question, we are told that:
The two equal sides are each 5 ft less than twice the length of the third side.
Hence,
a = 2c - 5
b = 2c - 5
P = 90ft
P = a + b + c
90 = 2c - 5 + 2c - 5 + c
Collect like terms
90 = 5c - 10
90 + 10 = 5c
100 = 5c
c = 100/5
c = 20
The length of the third side = 20ft
a = 2c - 5
= 2 × 20 - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35 ft
b =2c - 5
= 2 × 20 - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35 ft
Therefore,
Side a = 35ft
Side b = 35ft
Side c = 20ft
First divide 3.5 by 2 which equals 1.75. Then do 1.75*3 which equals 5.25. So he drinks 5.25 liters in one hour.
Answer: 15/91 which is choice B
=================================================================
There are two methods to find this answer.
Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91
--------------------
Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.
We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)
Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)
So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.
X = 12
because if you notice, each of the angles have a little arc in the corner, which means they are congruent. if all three angles are congruent, that means each angle is 60° because each triangle has a maximum value of 180°. therefore, this means it is an equilateral triangle.
that being said, each side must be equal as well. so, you can use any two sides to find x by using each one on a different side of an equation, then isolating and solving.
5x - 22 = 3x + 2 = 4x - 10
so
5x - 22 = 3x + 2
3x + 2 = 4x - 10
4x - 10 = 5x - 22
whichever one you solve for, x = 12. and if you plug in that number for x, each side equals the same number = 38
