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

Pepsi [2]

8.49/4 = 2.1225

Sunblock 1 costs $2.12 per ounce of sunblock.

10.29/5 = 2.058

Sunblock 2 costs $2.06 per ounce of sunblock.

Sunblock 2 is the better buy because it is cheaper ounce-per-ounce.

Which relation represents f(x) = 2x - 5?
goblinko [34]

Answer:

{(0,-5), (1, -3), (2, -1), (3, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plug in 1 for x you get f(x)=2(1)-5 which equals 2-5=-3

You would repeat these steps just going up by one number every time

a centroid separates a median into two segments. which of the following is the ratio of the length of the shorter segment to the
olga2289 [7]
The answer is 2:1.

The centroid separates the median, or the point from the midpoint of a side of a triangle with its opposite angle, at a ratio of 2:1, meaning that one segment is 1/3 the length of the median and the other segment is 2/3 the length of the median.

Consider the quadratic function f(x)=x²-5x+12. Which statements are true about the function and its
finlep [7]

There is only one statement that is true: B. The graph of the function is a parabola.

<h3>How to study and interpret the characteristics of quadratic equations</h3>

In this question we have a <em>quadratic</em> equation, whose characteristics have to be inferred and analyzed. We need to prove each of the five choices presented in the statement:

Choice A:

If we know that x = - 10, then we evaluated it at the function:

f(- 10) = (- 10)² - 5 · (- 10) + 12

f(- 10) = 162

False

Choice B:

By analytical geometry we know that all functions of the form y = a · x² + b · x + c always represent parabolae.

True

Choice C:

The <em>quadratic</em> function opens up as its <em>leading</em> coefficient is greater that 0.

False

Choice D:

If we know that x = 20, then we evaluate it at the function:

f(20) = 20² - 5 · (20) + 12

f(20) = 312

False

Choice E:

If we know that x = 0, then we evaluate it at the function:

f(0) = 0² - 5 · (0) + 12

f(0) = 12

There is only one statement that is true: B. The graph of the function is a parabola.
