Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, two sides and two angles are equal.

The shortest side of an isosceles triangle is 2x+5 inches. The 2 longest sides are 3 inches longer. This means that the length of each of the longer sides is

2x + 5 + 3 = 2x + 8 inches

The formula for determining the perimeter of a triangle is expressed as

Perimeter = a + b + c

Where a, b and c are the sides of the triangle.

The perimeter of the triangle is 21 inches. Therefore, the equation that can be used to find the length of each side of the triangle is

2x + 5 + 2x + 8 + 2x + 8 = 21

6x + 21 = 21

Andy is hanging wallpaper in his kitchen. He is able to cover 2 2/5 of the walls in the room using 6 rolls of wallpaper. What is
faltersainse [42]

Answer: The number of rolls of paper is 2\dfrac{1}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Andy is hanging wallpaper in his kitchen. 6 rolls of wallpaper is used to cover 2\dfrac{2}{5} of the walls.

We are to find the number of rolls of paper used per wall.

We will be using unitary method to solve the given problem.

We have,

2\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{12}{5}.

Now, number of rolls used to cover \dfrac{12}{5} of the walls = 6.

Therefore, number of rolls used to cover 1 wall is given by

\dfrac{6}{\frac{12}{5}}=\dfrac{5\times 6}{12}=\dfrac{5}{2}=2\dfrac{1}{2}.

Thus, 2\dfrac{1}{2} rolls of paper used per wall.
