There is an isosceles triangle.

The triangle is like two right triangles put together.

To find out the height of the triangle, we remove the other right triangle and we use the other triangle to find the height using the Pythagorean theorem.

Phytagoras Theorem :

b² = c² - a²

x² = 8² - (6÷2)²

x² = 64 - 3²

x² = 64 - 9

x² = 55

x = √55

So, the value of x is √55 (B)

Hope it helpful and useful :)

Answer:

a) C x +x +x +3x +3x = 18

b) x = 2

c) 2 cm, 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The sum of the lengths of the sides is equal to the length of the perimeter. The appropriate equation is ...

x +x +x +3x +3x = 18

b) Simplifying, the equation becomes ...

9x = 18

x = 2 . . . . . divide by 9

c) The shorter sides are x = 2 cm.

The longer sides are 3x = 6 cm.

Carlos find the absolute value of -5 3/10 and then find is the opposite of his answer Jason finds the opposite of -5 3/10 and th

a_sh-v [17]

we know that

$5 \frac{3}{10}= \frac{5*10+3}{10} = \frac{53}{10}$

Step 1

Carlos's method

1) Find the absolute value of $-\frac{53}{10}$

$\left|-\frac{53}{10}\right|=\frac{53}{10}$

2) Find the opposite

$opposite=-\frac{53}{10}$

Step 2

Jason's method

1) Find the opposite of $-\frac{53}{10}$

$opposite=\frac{53}{10}$

2) Find the absolute value

$\left|\frac{53}{10}\right|=\frac{53}{10}$

Step 3

Compare the answers

$\frac{53}{10} > -\frac{53}{10}$

therefore

The answer is

The greater value is obtained with the method of Jason

A box contains five ping-pong balls, each with a number written on it. One ball has a one painted on it, one ball has a four, tw

Temka [501]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Numbers on balls:

1, 4, 7, 7, 8

Try to find the sum of all numbers:

1+4+7+7+8 = 27

According to the rule of 3, any number is dividable by 3 if the sum of it's individual is divided by 3.

27 is dividable by 3, therefore any combination will result a number with a factor of three.

Prime number is the number that is only dividable by 1 and itself. Therefore, any combination using those numbers are not prime number.

So the probability is 0
