Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.

Let y represent the length of the third side.

The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that

2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1

Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that

x = y + 10

Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

2(y + 10) + y = 65

2y + 20 + y = 65

2y + y = 65 - 20

3y = 45

y = 45/3 = 15

Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes

x = 15 + 10 = 25

The diagram shows a rhombus inside a regular hexagon work out the angle x
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

<u>x = 60°</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure.

And it is required to find the angle x.

As shown, a rhombus inside a regular hexagon.

The regular hexagon have 6 congruent angles, and the sum of the interior angles is 720°

So, the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon = 720/6 = 120°

The rhombus have 2 obtuse angles and 2 acute angles.

one of the obtuse angles of the rhombus is the same angle of the regular hexagon.

So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus = 180 - 120 = 60°

So, the measure of each acute angle of the rhombus + the measure of angle x = the measure of one angle of the regular hexagon.

So,

60 + x = 120

x = 120 - 60 = 60°

<u>So, the measure of the angle x = 60°</u>

500 in the ratio 2:3
irina1246 [14]
500 in 2:3 is saying that there are five different parts (2 + 3)
This means that 500 needs to be split into five, which is 100.
After that all you need to do is put 2 'sections' on one side and 3 on the other.

For example, 2 : 3 = 2( x 100) : 3( x 100)
                                = 200 : 300

The rectangle below has an area of x^2-7x+10square meters and a width of x - 5 meters. What expression represents the length of
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

L = (x - 2) meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectangle = (x² - 7x + 10) m²

The width = (x - 5) m

length = ?

Area of a rectangle = length × width

x² - 7x + 10 = L(x -5)

note L = length

divide both sides by (x-5)

(x² - 7x + 10)/(x - 5) = L

L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)

Factorize x² - 7x + 10

find the numbers you can multiply to give you 10 and also add to give you -7

The numbers are -2 and -5. Therefore,

x² - 2x - 5x + 10 = 0

x(x - 2) - 5(x - 2) = 0

(x-5)(x-2) = 0

Let us go back to our division

L = x² - 7x + 10 / (x -5)

x² - 7x + 10 = (x-5)(x-2)

L = (x-5)(x-2) / (x -5)

L = (x - 2) meters
