The student went wrong in Step 3.

After setting each factor equal to 0, the student solved for x wrong in the second equation. To solve for x in the second equation, the student should subtract 10 from both sides. The solutions of the equation would be X = -4 and X = -10.

X + 10 = 0
X + 10 -<em>10 </em>= 0 <em>- 10</em>
X = -10

11*2 = 22 (calculating the diameter)

Using πD for the area:
π * 22 = 22π

Getting 3/4 of the area because the dog can not move past the corners of the garage;

22π * 3/4 = 16.5π

Getting the answer in feet^2:
16.5 * 3.14 = 51.84 feet^2

Hope this helps! :)

100 ml of fruit squash

sum the parts of the ratio, that is 2 + 7 = 9 parts

divide 450 ml by 9 to find 1 part

1 part = \frac{450}{9} = 50 ml

squash is 2 parts = 2 × 50 = 100 ml

lemonade is 7 parts = 7 × 50 = 350 ml

total = 100 + 350 = 450 ml

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x - 6. The perimeter of the triangle is 51. Find x
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if the base=x

length of one leg is =4x-6

length of the other leg is also =4x-6 (isosceles)

P=x+4x-6+4x-6=51

9x-12=51

9x=51+12

9x=63

x=63/9=7

x=7
