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

Giles is searching for a sock and discovers that he has 10 socks for every 5 pairs of shoes. If he has 20 socks, how many pairs
Norma-Jean [14]
The answer is 10 pairs of shoes.
The first ratio is 10:5. 10 socks per 5 pairs of shoes. You have 20 socks now instead of 10. You just double the ratio. 20 socks per 10 pairs of shoes. 20:10.

Millie designed a rectangular label to put on the front of her scrapbook. The label was 512 foot wide and 56 foot long. What was

28,672 feet squared. The area of a rectangle is it's length multiplied by its width, so you would multiple 512 with 56 to get your answer of 28,672. hope this helps :)
