Answer:
The legs are 1.9 feet long
And the base is 1.1 feet long.
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, you need to find the value of x.
You need to add all the sides together:
2x - 0.3 + 2x - 0.3 + x
Simplified =
5x - 0.6
And this equals 4.9:
5x - 0.6 = 4.9
Next, you need to move the -0.6 over to the other side, making sure to make it a positive:
5x = 4.9 + 0.6
5x = 5.5
Now divide each side by 5:
x = 1.1
As the image is unclear of what side you are finding the length of:
2x - 0.3 = 1.9 feet long
And the base is 1.1 feet long.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given equation:
Factor out 3 from the first 2 terms:
Divide the coefficient of x by 2 and square it: (-3 ÷ 2)² = 9/4
Add this inside the parentheses and subtract the distributed value of it outside the parentheses:
Factor the parentheses and combine the constants:
