Answer:

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal sides' length be "x"

Let the third side length be "y"

Third side (y) is 2 LESS THAN TWICE the equal side, so we can write:

y = 2x - 2

The perimeter is 38. The perimeters is the sum of all three sides. So we can write:

x + x + y = 38

Replacing y with 2nd equation, we have:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38

Now, we can solve this for x first:

x + x + (2x - 2) = 38\\x+x+2x-2=38\\4x=38+2\\4x=40\\x=10

Now, y is:

y = 2x - 2

y = 2(10) - 2

y = 20 - 2

y = 18

The equal sides' length = 10

Third side length = 18

Find h step by step
miskamm [114]

Answer:

h = 2.7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

ΔADE and ΔABC are similar, hence ratios of corresponding sides are equal

DE / BC = AD / AB, that is

h / 0.9 = 18 / 6 ( cross- multiply )

6h = 16.2 ( divide both sides by 6 )

h = 2.7

2x+2y=-2<br> 3x-2y=12<br><br> What is this please
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

x=2, y=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of problems is called a system of equations, or simultaneous equations.

When solving simultaneous equations, you need to first make sure you have two unknown terms of the same number but different signs - this is so one unknown cancels out because we can only solve when there's one unknown. We already have this ('2y' and '-2y'). Now we just add the 'x's, the 'y's and the numbers:

2x+2y=-2

3x-2y=12

(2x+3x)+(2y-2y)=(-2+12)

5x=10

x=2

Now that we know the value of x, use it to find y:

2x+2y=-2

2(2)+2y=-2

4+2y=-2

2y=-6

y=-3
