An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has one pair of equal sides. The Formula in finding the perimeter of a triangle is PΔ=S₁+S₂+S₃. Since two legs are missing, and the given are the base and perimeter, we will use the formula : S₁+S₂ = PΔ-S₃, where: S₁+S₂ are the legs and <span>S₃ is the base.
Substitute values:
</span><span>S₁+S₂ = 43cm - 7 cm
</span>          = 36 cm
since S₁ and S₂ are equal, divide 36cm by 2. Therefore S₁ and <span>S₂ measures 18cm.
Check: </span><span>PΔ=S₁+S₂+S₃
</span><span>                 = 18cm + 18 cm + 7cm
                 = 43cm

Answer:

121

Step-by-step explanation:

legs are x but base is x+7

x+x+x+7 is perimeter = 43

3x+7=43

3x=36

x=12

In triangle ABC angle A=45 angle B =40 and a=7.Which equation should you solve to find b?
coldgirl [10]

We have been given that in triangle ABC angle A=45 angle B =40 and a=7. We are asked to find the equation that we can use to solve for 'f'.

We have two angles and opposite sides to these angles.

We will use Law of Sines to solve our given problem.

\frac{a}{\sin(A)}=\frac{b}{\sin(B)}=\frac{c}{\sin(C)}, where a, b and c are opposite sides corresponding to angles A, B, and C respectively.

The angle opposite to side b is 40 degrees and angle opposite to side a is 45 degrees.

Upon substituting these values in Law of Sines, we will get:

\frac{7}{\sin(45^{\circ})}=\frac{b}{\sin(40^{\circ})}

Therefore, our required equation would be \frac{7}{\sin(45^{\circ})}=\frac{b}{\sin(40^{\circ})}.

On Monday, Mr. Roberts drove 42 miles. On Tuesday, he drove 5 miles more than half the distance he drove on Monday. Which expres
butalik [34]

Answer: Last option

(42÷2) +5

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mr. Roberts drove 42 miles on Monday.

On Tuesday Mr. Roberts drove half of what he drove on Monday plus 5 miles.

If we want to know how many miles Mr. Roberts drove on Tuesday then we should divide 42÷2 to find half of 42.

\frac{42}{2} = 21

Then we know that in addition to the 21 miles he drove 5 more miles. Then we add 21 +5 = 26 miles.

So the expression that gives us the number of miles that Mr. Roberts drove on Tuesday is:

(42÷2) +5
