Answer:

The perimeter of the triangle ABC is 17 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the Isosceles triangle ABC.

The sides CA and CB are equal with measures, 5 cm.

The base angles are assumed to be <em>x</em>° each. Hence, the angle ACB is 2<em>x</em>°.

The altitude CP divides the base AB into two equal halves and the angle ACB is also cut into halves.

Consider the right angled triangle ACP.

The sum of all the angles in a triangle is 180°.

Determine the value of <em>x</em> as follows:

<em>x</em>° + <em>x</em>° + 90° = 180°

2<em>x</em>° = 90°

<em>x</em>° = 45°

Compute the length of side AP as follows:

cos\ 45^{0}=\frac{AP}{CA}

      \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{AP}{5}

     AP =\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\AP=3.5

Then the length of side AB is:

AB = AP + PB

     = 3.5 + 3.5

     = 7 cm

The perimeter of triangle ABC is:

Perimeter = AB + CA + CB

                = 7 + 5 + 5

                = 17

Thus, the perimeter of the triangle ABC is 17 cm.

A contractor purchases 4 dozen pairs of padded work gloves for ​$56.16. She incorrectly calculates the unit price as ​$14.04 per
8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct unit price is $1.17 per pair of gloves. The error is she used number of dozens so, firstly convert it to number of pairs of gloves then divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given 4 dozen pairs of gloves for $56.16.

So, unit price = Divide the price by number of pairs of gloves.

And 1 dozen =12

So 4 dozen =4*12=48 pairs of gloves

So, to find unit rate divide 56.16  by 48.

Unit price =\frac{56.16}{48}= $1.17

So, the error is she didn't convert the dozen to units.

That made mistake in finding unit price.
