Answer:

The third side has a length of 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The two sides of equal length can be represented as x, and x

The thirds side is five less that twice the length of the other sides can be represented as  2x - 5.

The perimeter is 23, so the sum of all 3 sides is 23, now we have..

x + x + 2x - 5 = 23          solve for x...

4x = 28

x = 7,

so two sides are 7, and 7, and the third side is

2(7) - 5

  14 - 5

   9

landon is standing in a hole that is 5.1 ft deep. He throws a rock, and it goes up into the air, out of the hole, and then lands
fredd [130]
Refer to the diagram shown below.

The path of the rock is 
y = -0.005x² + 0.4x - 5.1

When x = 0, y = -5.1 ft, which is the location of the hole level.
The rock reaches ground level two times when x = x₁ and when x = x₂.

At ground level, y = 0. Therefore
-0.005x² + 0.4x - 5.1 = 0
Divide through by  -0.005.
x² - 82x + 1020 = 0

Solve with the quadratic formula.
x = (82 +/- √(82² - 4*1020))/2
   = (82 +/- 51.4198)/2
x = 66.71 or x = 15.29

The smaller value of x is x₁ = 15.3 ft when the rock emerges out of the hole and reaches ground level.
The larger value of x is x₂ = 66.7 ft when the rock falls to the ground.
The rock lands 66.7 ft horizontally from Landon.

Answer:  66.7 ft

In a group of 36 students, 6 study both Art and Biology.
vichka [17]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

\frac{1}{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total data set is 36 students, and you need to find out the probability that the randomly selected student studies both art and biology, you need to find the ratio:

Every 36 students there is 6

36 : 6

Divide both sides by 6:

6 : 1

So that means the probability is:

\frac{1}{6} or 1.16 recurring
