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

A circle has the center of (1,-5) and a radius of 5 determine the location of the point (4,-1)
Sliva [168]

"determine the location" or namely, is it inside the circle, outside the circle, or right ON the circle?

well, we know the center is at (1,-5) and it has a radius of 5, so the distance from the center to any point on the circle will just be 5, now if (4,-1) is less than that away, is inside, if more than that is outiside and if it's exactly 5 is right ON the circle.

well, we can check by simply getting the distance from the center to the point (4,-1).

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ \stackrel{center}{(\stackrel{x_1}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-5})}\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{[4-1]^2+[-1-(-5)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(4-1)^2+(-1+5)^2} \\\\\\ d = \sqrt{3^2+4^2}\implies d =\sqrt{9+16}\implies d=\sqrt{25}\implies \stackrel{\textit{right on the circle}}{d = 5}

6. If you spun the spinner below, what are the odds that you will spin an
denis23 [38]

If you mean that is a 4 digit number then here is your answer.

Answer:

1:1

Step-by-step explanation:

So there is 1000 to 9999. That includes 9999-999= 9000 numbers. Since each number it is either a odd number or an even number, we can say that it is 1:1 There would be 4500 odd and 4500 even numbers. Every even number is followed by an odd number. for example: 1000-1001 1002-1003 1004-1005

so on so you would get to the point that you get to 9998-9999

Hope it helped you!

Can someone help me?
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

The symbols that we will use are:

a > b   (a is larger than b)

a < b   (a is smaller than b)

a ≥ b   (a is larger than or equal to b)

a ≤ b  (a is smaller than or equal to b).

1) if x represents the inches of snow, we have:

"More than 4 inches" means that x must be strictly larger than 4 inches, this can be written as:

x > 4 inches.

2)  "less than 25 inches" means that x must be strictly smaller than 25 inches, this can be written as:

x < 25 inches.

3) If T represents the temperature

"No more than 8°F" means that the temperature can be smaller than 8°F, or equal to 8°F, then we can write this situation with:

T ≤ 8°F

4) "At least 7°F" means that the temperature can be 7°F or more than that, then we can write this situation as:

T ≥ 7°F
