Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The legs are given to be :

3x - 1 and -x + 27

The base = 5x + 1

One of the properties of an isosceles triangle is that two sides are equal , that is the two legs are equal. This means that

3x - 1 = - x + 27

3x + x = 27 + 1

4x = 28

x = 7

To calculate the length of the base, substitute x = 7 into the length of the base given , that is

Length of the base = 5(7) + 1

L = 35 + 1

L = 36

For #11 you add 54 + 59+ 57+ 54. Then you have 224. Then divide 224 by 4 since there are 4 numbers. Your answer should be 56 inches as the average, or mean.
Remember, when you divide, you divide by the number of all the numbers. I'm trying to make sense but hope this helps!

C is the midpoint of line segment AB Find the value of x, if line segment AB = 5x and line segment AC = 20.
Softa [21]
D.8

A and C are out because they would get you ether lower or equal to 20, which is equal to AC and your trying to find X in AB which is so posed to be the what equals AC+BC.
AB=AC+BC
5x=20+BC
5(8)=20+BC
40=20+BC
40=20+20

AC equals 20. AB will have to equal AC+ CB. If you put in A.4 in AB 5X you will get twenty and that not what you want. You want to get a number that will get you the an answer greater to AC. So 5(8)=40.
