Answer:

The length of the side of the triangles are;

First side = 38 ft

Second side = 19 ft

Third side =24 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question we are going to take;

Second side is x ft

Since, the first side is 2 times the second side then;

First side of the triangle is 2x ft

Since the third side is 5 ft less than the second side, then;

The third side is (x+5) ft

But, the perimeter of the triangle is 81 ft

Perimeter of a triangle is given by the sum of sides;

Therefore;

x + 2x +(x +5) = 81 ft

4x + 5 = 81

4x = 76

    x = 19 ft

Therefore;

Second side = 19 ft

First side = 38 ft

Third side = 24 ft

A sporting goods store has a sale on soccer balls: if you buy two soccer balls at the regular price, you get a third soccer ball
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The regular price of the balls is $8

Step-by-step explanation:

The sporting goods store sales promotion is as follows;

The price of the third ball after buying two balls at regular price = $1.00

The price of the number of balls Coach John pays for the balls he bought = $136

To buy 24 balls, we have;

2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1

Therefore;

The number of balls bought at regular price = The sum of the 2s = 16 balls

The number of balls bought for $1 = 24 - 16 = 8 balls

Let x represent the regular price of the balls, we have;

16 × x + 8 = 136

16·x = 138 - 8 = 128

x = 128/16 = 8

The regular price of the balls = x = $8.

Find the coordinates of the point (a, b).
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } and b = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know, the radius of the unit circle is 1 unit (it is the hypotenuse in the right triangle, the blue line)

We use trigonometric formulas to find out a and b

  • Sin(45) = opposite side / hypotenuse

<=> Sin(45) = b / 1

<=> b= Sin(45)*1 = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

  • Cos(45) = adjacent side / hypotenuse

<=> Cos(45) = a / 1

<=> a =  Cos(45)*1 = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

So: a = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } and b = \frac{\sqrt{2} }{2}

Describe how (2 cubed) (2 superscript negative 4) can be simplified. Multiply the bases and add the exponents. Then find the rec
charle [14.2K]

Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then reciprocal it and change the sign of the exponent. Then the value of the exponent expression is 0.5.

<h3>What is an exponent?</h3>

Exponential notation is the form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter is called the base. It indicates that the base is to raise to a certain power. X is the base and n is the power.

The exponent expression is 2³ × 2⁻⁴ can be simplified.

Add the exponents and keep the same base. Then we have

2³ × 2⁻⁴  = 2⁽³⁻⁴⁾

2³ × 2⁻⁴  = 2⁻¹

Then find the reciprocal and change the sign of the exponent.

2^3* 2^{-4} = 2^{-1}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = \dfrac{1}{2}\\\\2^3* 2^{-4} = 0.5

The value is 0.5.

What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (0, -1)(0,−1) and (6, 1)(6,1)?
horrorfan [7]

slope = y2 - y1 \div x2 - x1

1 -  - 1 \div 6 - 0

2 \div 6

1 \div 3

y = mx + c

1 = 1 \div 3 \times 6 + c

1 = 2 + c

c = 3

y = 1 \div 3x + 3
