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

Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f on the given interval. f(x) = 16 + 2x − x^2, [0, 5]
RSB [31]

Answer:

<h2>absolute maximum = 16</h2><h2>absolute minimum = 1</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function f(x) = 16 + 2x − x² n the given interval [0,5], we need to get the values of f(x) at the end points. The end points are 0 and 5.

at x = 0;

f(0) =  16 + 2(0) − 0²

f(0) = 16

at the other end point i.e at x = 5;

f(5) =  16 + 2(5) − 5²

f(5) = 16 + 10-25

f(5)= 26-25

f(5) = 1

The absolute minimum value is 1  and  occurs at x  = 5

The absolute maximum value is 16 and  occurs at x  = 0

If you were to factor you would do what my teacher likes to call reverse foil so it would look like this (x-9)(x+4) so what you do is you brainsrorm to see what multiplies what to get that and 9*4=36 so that is how you factor -36 to find the -9 Hope this helps if I'm correct if not I will try to find the answer

Answer:

d =13 cm

r = 6.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is the distance across the circle, going through the center

d = 13 cm

The radius is 1/2 of the diameter

r = d/2 = 13/2 = 6.5 cm

3<br> Solve for x. Round answer to the nearest tenth.<br> X<br> 759<br> 17
QveST [7]

Answer:

x ≈ 4.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Reference angle = 75°

Opposite side to reference angle = 17

Adjacent side = x

Applying TOA:

Tan 75 = opp/adj

Tan 75 = 17/x

Multiply both sides by x

x*Tan 75 = 17

Divide both sides by Tan 75

x = 17/Tan 75

x ≈ 4.6
