Answer:

This is the length of the leg of the second triangle = 13.6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since two isosceles triangles have congruent base angles. So Triangle - 1 is similar to triangle - 2.

So ratio of length to base of first triangle is equal to the  second triangle.

⇒ \frac{l_{1} }{b_{1} } = \frac{l_{2} }{b_{2} }  --------- (1)

Given that

⇒ l_{1} = 17 cm , \ b_{1} = 10 cm , \ b_{2} = 8 cm

Put all these values in equation (1) we get

⇒  \frac{17}{10}  = \frac{l_{2} }{8}

⇒ l_{2} = 13.6 cm

This is the length of the leg of the second triangle.

Tomtit [17]
X= # of people who attended the movie

Numerator= # of people under 30
Denominator= total # of people

60/100 = 1200/x
Then we cross multiply
60x = 120000
x = 2,000

Final answer= 2,000 people attended the theater

A rain barrel is full of water and used to water the garden. The rain barrel loses water at the rate 2.5 gallons of water per mi
soldier1979 [14.2K]
Answer: <span>y - 37.5 = 2.5 ( x - 7)

Explanation:

1) The point-slope form is has this form:

 y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Where m is the slope or rate of change and x1, y1 are the coordinates of the point.

2) you are told that the the rate of change of water (m) is 2.5

m = 2.5

3) The point is given by that after 7 min the rain barrel contains 37.5 gallons. This is:

x1 = 7
y1 = 37.5

</span>4) Replace those value in the point-slope model:

y - 37.5 = 2.5 ( x - 7)

That is the point-slope model or equation.

The sides of ∆ABC inscribed in a circle are equidistant from the center. Tricia says that ∆ABC must be equilateral. Which explai
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

Tricia is correct because the sides of the triangle are congruent since they are  equidistant from the center of the circle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the sides of ΔABC inscribed in a circle are equidistant from the center. This implies the triangle is drawn within the circumference of the circle with a center.

Bisecting the three sides of the triangle shows that the three bisectors intersect at a point which is the center of the circle, and the lines are equidistant to this point. This proves that the length of the sides of the triangle are equal, so that the triangle is an equilateral triangle. Therefore, Tricia's statement is correct.
