Answer:

Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that two sides of a triangle each measure 8 inches. Maria says the triangle must be isosceles.

We need to check whether Maria is correct or not.

Isosceles triangle: If a triangle has at least two sides that have equal measures, then the triangle is called an isosceles triangle.

Since measures of two sides of the triangle are equal, therefore the given triangle is an isoseceles triangle and Maria is correct.

Hence, the correct option is B.

1. (SLO) Simplify the expression: 6(b-7)

Sav [38]

1 → B

multiply each term in the parenthesis by the 6 outside

6(b-7) = 6b - 42

2 → D

multiply each term in the parenthesis by the 3 outside

3(4x+6y+2) = 12x+18y+6

3 → A

the value outside the parenthesis is -1, hence each term inside is multiplied by -1

-1(6x+5y) = -6x -5y

The yard behind the Cindy’s house is rectangular in shape and has a perimeter of 72 feet. If the length l of the yard is 18 feet

PtichkaEL [24]

Let
L----------> the length of the yard
W--------> the width l of the yard

we know that
the perimeter is equal to
 $P=2*[W+L]$
$72=2*[W+L] \\ 36=W+L$ --------> equation 1
$L=W+18$ ------> equation 2
substitute equation 2 in equation 1
 $36=W+18+W \\ 36=2W+18 \\ W=(36-18)/2$
$W=9 ft$
$L=W+18 \\ L=9+18 \\ L=27 ft$

we know that
Area of the rectangular yard is equal to
 $A=L*W \\ A=27*9 \\ A=243 ft^{2}$
