Answer:

You know that XZ is 15 and the whole perimeter of the triangle is 50. WZ is going to be the same length as WX due to the lines saying that they are equal.

Your first step is to take 50-15=35, we did this because we already know the length of one side and can take that off from the whole.

The next step is to divide 35 by 2, because both sides are going to be the same length.

35/2=17.5

You final answer would be 17.5

Hope this helps ;)

Answer:

The length of WZ is 17.5 (which agrees with the third answer in the list)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that we are in the presence of an isosceles triangle where two sides are exactly equal (sides WZ and WX).

The perimeter (additions of all sides) of the triangle is 50, and the size of side XZ is given as 15.

Then if we subtract 15 from 50, we get the addition of the two equal sides: 50 - 15 = 35.

So, now divide this by 2 to get the length of just one of the unknown sides:

35 / 2 = 17.5

Triangle LMN is congruent to triangle FGH, as shown.

Tanzania [10]

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If $\triangle LMN \cong \triangle FGH$ , this means that $\overline{LM} \cong \overline{FG}$ by CPCTC.

Using the distance formula,

$FG=\sqrt{(-3-0)^{2}+(-4-0)^{2}}=5\\\\\therefore LM=\boxed{5}$

Which solution finds the value of x in the triangle below? HELP!

Vinvika [58]

8 is the hypotenuse and x is the adjacent side to the 60-degree angle. This means that you would need cosine (adjacent over hypotenuse) or secant (hypotenuse over adjacent). Cosine is not an option so it's secant.

sec 60 degrees = 8/x

Next, in a 30 60 90 triangle, you know that the side lengths are 1, 1/2 and sqrt(3)/2. So the secant of 60 degrees is 1 divided by 1/2 which is 2.

So the answer is the first question: x = 4

A DNA sequence can be represented as a string of the letters ACTG (short for adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine). How many

maria [59]

To solve that question we can think by the following way:

The first letter can be any of the letters (A, C, T or G). Therefore there are 4 possibilites.
To choose the second letter of the sequence, any letter also can be chose. So, one more time, there are 4 possibilites.

Using the fundamental principle of counting, we will find out that can be formed $4\times 4 = 16$ differents sequences (for example, AA, AG, TT, TG, CT...).

Know we know that, we can generalize. If I have $n$ elements and I must choose one of them $t$ times to do a sequence, the total number of sequence that I can form will be $n^t$ .

In our question, we want to know how many DNA sequence are exactly 29 letters long. As indicated above, the answer for that is $4\times 4\times 4\times ... \times 4$ (29 times) $= 4^{29}$ .

Therefore, there are $4^{29}$ DNA sequences with exactly 29 letters long.

I hope I've helped you. =D
