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

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.

A painter is painting a wall with an area of 150 ft2. He decides to paint half of the wall and then take a break. After his brea

fgiga [73]

First break= 1/2
second break = 1/2 of half= 1/4
third break = half of 1/4 = 1/8
forth break = 1/2 of 1/8 = 1/16
fifth break = 1/2 of 1/16 =1/32
fraction painted = 1 -1/32 =31/32
portion painted = 150*31/32 = 145.3125 ft^2

An oxygen tank contained 212 12/3 liters of oxygen before 27 1/3 liters were used. If the tank can hold 240 3/8 liters, how much

lukranit [14]

So, initially 240 $\frac{3}{8}$ -212 $\frac{12}{3}$ were empty:

this is :

$240 \frac{3}{8} - 212 \frac{12}{3} = 240 \frac{3}{8} - 212 +4 = 240 \frac{3}{8} - 216= 24 \frac{3}{8}$

12/4 is 4 so that's why i substituted it with 4.

now, later 27 1/3 were used so we add this tho the original empty space

$24 \frac{3}{8}+ 27 \frac{1}{3}$ = $24 \frac{9}{24}+ 27 \frac{8}{24}$ = $51 \frac{17}{24}$

which is the result!
