The length of the base is 6 and the length of each leg is 10.

In order to find this, we can start by making the length of the base x. Now we know that the legs are 4 longer we can mark them as x + 4. Since there are two of them, we can add x + x + 4 + x + 4 and set equal to 26 to find the value of x.

x + x + 4 + x + 4 = 26

3x + 8 = 26

3x = 18

x = 6

Now we can plug this in for our leg length as well to find that.

x + 4 = Leg

6 + 4 = Leg

10 = leg

Neil has 3 partially full cans of white paint.They contain 1/3 gallon,1/5 gallon,and 1/2 gallon of paint.About how much paint do
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

  less than 1 1/2 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2, so the sum of the three cans is more than 1 by the difference between 1/5 and 1/6. That difference is 1/30 gallon. The sum is 1 1/30 gallons, which is less than 1 1/2 gallons.

__

A suitable common denominator is 2·3·5 = 30. Then the sum of the fractions is ...

  1/3 + 1/5 + 1/2

  = 10/30 + 6/30 + 15/30

  = 31/30 = 1 1/30 . . . . . less than 1 1/2

In decimal, 1/3 ≈ 0.333, 1/5 = 0.200, 1/2 = 0.500, so the sum is ...

  0.333 +0.200 +0.500 = 1.033

which is less than 1.5.

The temperature of earth may be measured either by thermometers on the ground, which is an accurate but tedious method, or by se
qwelly [4]

Answer:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the most accurate to estimate the difference

Step-by-step explanation:

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is the best statistical method that can be used to determine the systematic difference between the mean values of two given set of population in any random experiment

In this case the two set of populations would be the one in which temperature is measured by thermometers on ground and sensor mounted in a space satellite.
