Answer:56.8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
For perimeter we must find the lengths of the 2 diagonal sides of the triangle which are the same because it is isosceles.
the triangle is cut directly in half so both halves of the base are 17/2
17/2 = 8.5
solve through pythagoren theorum
altitude^2 + (half of base)^2 = (diagonal length)^2
18^2 + (8.5)^2 = (diagonal length)^2
324 + 72.25 = (diagonal length)^2
396.3 = (diagonal length)^2
= diagonal length
diagonal length = 19.9
diagonal length + diagonal length + base = perimeter
19.9 + 19.9 + 17 = perimeter
56.8 inches = perimeter
you would use 1.5 packets, but that requires 2 packets.
1 packet in total would feed 8 people, and half of another would feed an extra 4. 4+8 = 12.
The answer is a 36
This is because if you take the area of one of the three triangles that make up the trapezoid you do 1/2 base times height and get 12 and you add all three together thus getting 36 square inches
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The opposite angles of an inscribed quadrilateral are supplementary, thus
5x + 20 + 7x - 8 = 180
12x + 12 = 180 ( subtract 12 from both sides )
12x = 168 ( divide both sides by 12 )
x = 14
Thus
∠ RQP = 10x = 10(14) = 140°
∠PSR = 180° - 140° = 40° ( opposite angles are supplementary )
∠ SRQ = 7X - 8 = 7(14) - 8 = 98 - 8 = 90°
∠ QPS = 5x + 20 = 5(14) + 20 = 70 + 20 = 90°
