The legs of an iscosceles triangle have lengths 3x-1 and -x +27. The base has length 5x+1. What is the length of the base

Mathematics

asambeis [7]3 years ago

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

Suppose two dice (one red, one green) are rolled. Consider the following events. A: the red die shows 5; B: the numbers add to 2
labwork [276]

Answer:

Part 1

A = {5}

B = {(1,1)}

C = {(2,1), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (1,2), (3,2), (4,2), (5,2), (6,2)}

D =  {(1,1), (1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,5), (4,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)}

Part 2

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1

We use brakets for indicate that the elements belong to a event.

In each event, the first member of each parentheses belong to dice red and the second belong to green dice.

We consider in each event all elements that accomplish the condition.

Part 2

When we combinate pair with the two dice obtain 36 pairs (6*6, six possible results in the red dice and six possible results in the green dice), now we look for all of them that do not add 2.

(1,2), (1,3), (1,4), (1,5), (1,6), (2,1), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (2,5), (2,6), (3,1), (3,2), (3,3), (3,4), (3,5), (3,6), (4,1), (4,2), (4,3), (4,4), (4,5), (4,6), (5,1), (5,2), (5,3), (5,4), (5,5), (5,6), (6,1), (6,2), (6,3), (6,4), (6,5), (6,6)

A field is a rectangle with a perimeter of 960 feet. The length is 100 feet more than the width. Find the width and length of th
marta [7]
To start, let x represent the width and x+100 represent the length.

Since the perimeter of a figure is the sum of all the measurements of the side which can be represented by (x+100)+(x+100)+x+x and since you know your perimeter is 960 feet, you can set the expression equal to 960. This would look like this:
(x+100)+(x+100)+x+x=960

Once you have done that, combine any like terms (combine terms with the same variables and raised to the same power together) which would simplify to this:
4x+200=960

Now that you have your like terms simplified, subtract 200 from both sides to get 4x=760 and finally, to solve for x, or find the width, divide both sides by 4 to get x=190.

Now that you have your width, now you must find your length as the question asks to find the dimensions of the rectangular field. To find the length, add 100 to the width of (190) since according to the information given, the length is 100 more than the width. When you add 100 to 190, you should get that your length is 290.

Now that you have your length and width, you can conclude that the dimensions of the field is 190 by 290 feet, which is your answer :)
