The perimeter of a triangle with two equal sides is 50 cm. If its base were lengthened by 3 cm and each leg were shortened by 4

cm, all three sides would be equal. Find the length of the base of the original triangle.

Answer:

Base of the original triangle is 12 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let base of triangle be x  

two equal legs  of triangles by y

therefore perimeter of triangle

                       x+y+y = 50 or x+2y =50

according to the question

 if base is x+3 and leg is y-4

then both are equal

   that is x+3 = y-4

            y-x = 7 or y =x+7

   x+2y =50

   x+2(x+7) = 50

    x+2x +14 =50

     3x +14 =50

     3x = 50 -14

      3x = 36

      x = 12

therefore base of the original  triangle is 12 cm

How do you convert 60 miles per hour is how many feet per second? can iny one help
DiKsa [7]
That's two questions.

The answer to the second question is:  Yes.

The answer to the first question is:

Multiply 60 miles per hour by ' 1 ' a few times.  Use fractions that have
the same thing on top and bottom, since those are always equal to ' 1 '.
Then cancel units if the same unit is on the top and the bottom.
Here's how it goes:

(60 mi/hr) x (5280 ft/mile) x (1hr/3600 sec) = (60 x 5280 / 3600) ft/sec = <u>88 ft/sec</u>

Suppose that salaries for recent graduates of one university have a mean of $25,700 with a standard deviation of $1350. Using Ch
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

75% of the data will reside in the range 23000 to 28400.

Step-by-step explanation :

To find the range of values :

We need to find the values that deviate from the mean. Since we want at least 75% of the data to reside between the range therefore we have,

1 - \frac{1}{k^2} =\frac{75}{100}

Solving this, we would get k = 2 which shows the value one needs to find lies outside the range.

Range is given by : mean +/- (z score) × (value of a standard deviation)  

⇒ Range : 25700 +/- 2 × 1350

⇒ Range : (25700 - 2700) to (25700 + 2700)

Hence, 75% of the data will reside in the range 23000 to 28400.
