Answer:

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A. 3.1 cm

B. 3.2 cm

C. 4.2 cm

D. 6.1 cm

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

Let

x -----> the length of each of the two equal sides in the isosceles triangle

The perimeter of one isosceles triangle is equal to

P=2x+2

Remember that

To maximize the use of the wire, the perimeter of 6 earrings (3 pairs of earrings) must be equal to 50 cm

so

6(2x+2)=50

Solve for x

12x+12=50

12x=50-12

12x=38

x=\frac{38}{12}=3.16\ cm

therefore

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

Enter an equation in point-slope form for the line.<br> Slope is 9 and (−3, −1) is on the line.
Korolek [52]

Answer:

y+1=9(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the equation for point slope form is y-y₁=m(x-x₁)

enter the given points (-3,-1)

y-(-1)=9(x-(-3))

y+1=9(x+3)           <-- point slope form
