The perimeter = 20 and AC = 8

Now as it is not mentioned which sides are equal of the isosceles triangle ABC,

We have two possible situations.

1)

If AC is the base

In that case AB = BC

Now AC = 8, AB = x , BC = x

So x + x + 8 = 20

2x + 8 = 20

2x = 12

x = 6

AB = BC = 6

2)

IF AC is not the base,

Then

AC = BC or AC = AB

So BC = 8 or AB = 8

If AB = AC = 8

Then

BC + 8 + 8 = 20

BC = 4

So there are two possible lengths of BC

Either it is BC = 8 or BC = 6 or BC = 4

The figure is attached for your reference.

Ryan is making small meat loaves. Each small meat loaf uses 3/4 pound of meat. How much meat does Ryan need to make 8 small meat
taurus [48]
Ryan will need 6 pounds of meatloaf. If you want to know how I got my answer, my work along with the answer will be shown below:

3/4 pound=1 small meatloaf

*Multiply 3/4 pound by 8 because he wants to make 8 small meat loaves, or just add 3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4+3/4*.

#1 way (recommended): 3/4*8/1=24/4....=6 pounds
#2 way: 3/4+3/4=6/4+3/4=9/4+3/4=12/4+3/4=15/4+3/4=18/4+3/4=21/4+3/4=24/4=6 pounds

I hope this helps! Let me know if you still need help!

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

90 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete question

A coffee is sitting on Mr. Hunt's desk cooling. It cools according to the function T=70(0.80)^x+20, where x is the time in minutes and T is the temperature in degree Celsius. WHAT IS THE INITIAL temperature of the coffee

The initial temperature occurs at x = 0

Substitute x = 0 into the expression;

T=70(0.80)^x+20

T =70(0.80)^0+20

Since any value raise to power of zero is 1, hence;

T = 70(1)+20

T = 70+20

T = 90 degree Celsius

Hence the initial temperature of the coffee is 90 degrees

Prove that angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal.
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a triangle ABC, in which AB=AC.

Construct AP bisector of angle A meeting BC at P.

In ∆ABP and ∆ACP

AP=AP[common]

AB=AC[given]

angle BAP=angle CAP[by construction]

Therefore, ∆ABP congurent ∆ACP[S.A.S]

This implies, angle ABP=angleACP[C.P.C.T]
