The base of an isosceles tiangle has a length of 25. what can you say about the lengths of the legs?

1 answer:

7 0

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side (or else, it can't be a closed polygon). Since we know that the two sides in question are both of the same length in this case (since the triangle isosceles), their individual lengths must be greater than 25/2 = 12.5.

Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden. Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of

likoan [24]

Answer:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we know that Zaid and Matias, two farmers, constructed a 792 foot fence around their very large garden so then the total is represented by 792 ft

We also know that Zaid agreed to construct 20% more of the fence than Matias did. Let's assume that the amount that construct by Matias was x then the amount constructed by Zaid would be 1.2 x representing 20% more than Matias and we can set up the following equation:

$1.2x +x =792$

$2.2x =792$

And we got finally:

$x =\frac{792}{2.2}= 360 ft$

And the amount for Zaid would be 1.2*360 ft= 432ft

So then Zaid construc 432 ft and Matias 360 ft

Jon has to pay $7.50 admission for the skating rink and $1.50 per hour to rent rollerblades. Write an equation for the cost (y)

Nata [24]

Answer:

y = 7.50 + 1.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

The admission costs $7.50 and after x hours Jon has to pay $1.50*x. Then the cost y in dollars is

y = 7.50 + 1.50x where x is the number of hours.

a bowl can hold 3 1/3 cups of water. a bowl can hold 2 3/5 timea the amount in the glass. how many cups can a bowl hold?

nadezda [96]

Since it says ''times'', you have to change the mixed numbers into fractions which will turn the equation into 10/3 x 13/5 which = 130/15. When you turn that into a mixed number, it changes into 8 10/15 or 8 2/3.

ANSWER: 8 2/3
