Answer:

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides being equal (also two equal base angles).

Let us assume the length of the two equal sides to be x meters each, and the length of the unequal side to be y meter. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 90 m, it can be expressed as:

x + x + y = 90

2x + y = 90

But the length of the equal side is  three fourth of the unequal side, i.e x = 3/4y

Therefore:

2(3/4y) + y = 90

3/2y + y = 90

2.5y = 90

y = 90/2.5

y = 36 meters

Also x = 3/4 * 36 = 27 meters

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

16%

Step-by-step explanation:

First we start by solving for the z score

We have the following information

x = 3.25

Standard deviation = sd = 2.25

Mean = 5.50

Z = (x - mean)/sd

z = 3.25 - 5.50/2 25

z = -1.00

If we look this up in the standard normal distribution table,

P(z<-1.00) = 0.1587

Which when approximated gives us

16%

Therefore approximately 16% of lobsters will have to be returned back to the sea.

Which statement is true about whether Z and B are independent events
const2013 [10]
Independent Events are 2 events where the occurrence of the first doesn't affect the occurrence of the second and vice versa.
Example: rolling 2 simultaneously dies, the occurrence of the first, has no impact, no effect on the occurrence of the 2nd roll

A square corner of 16 square centimeters is removed
oee [108]

Option C:

Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter

Solution:

Area of the square paper = 9x^2 sq. cm

Area of the square corner removed = 16 sq. cm

Let us find the area of the remaining paper.

Area of the remaining paper = Area of the square paper – Area of the corner

Area of the remaining = 9x^2-16

                                     = (3x)^2-(4)^2

Using algebraic formula: a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)

                                     =(3x-4)(3x+4)

Area of the remaining paper = (3x – 4)(3x + 4) square centimeter

Hence (3x – 4)(3x + 4)  represents area of the remaining paper in square centimeters.

Answer:

A and E

Step-by-step explanation:

9^3 / 9^3

Same number on top and bottom so 1 is an answer

look at the exponents, when dividing with exponents, you just subtract them, so it could also be 9^0, which is also 1

seropon [69]

Answer:

The elevator stops on the 19th floor.

Step-by-step explanation:

On the 16th floor, goes up 12 floors:

16 + 12 = 28

On the 28th floor, goes down 7 floors:

28 - 7 = 21

On the 21st floor, does up 3 floors:

21 + 3 = 24

On the 24th floor, goes down 5 floors:

24 - 5 = 19
