Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:

2L + B = 14 units

Where:

L is the measure of one leg

B is the measure of the base

Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:

B = L -1

Now we have two equations:

2L + B = 14 units

B = L- 1

We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:

2L + (L-1) = 14 units

Get rid of the parentheses:

2L + L - 1 = 14

Combine like terms:

3L - 1 = 14

Add 1 to both sides of the equation:

3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1

3L = 15

Divide both sides by 3:

3L/3 = 15/3

L = 5

So the length of a leg is 5 units

Let's check!

B = L - 1

B = 5 - 1

B = 4

Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:

2L + B

2(5) + 4

10 + 4 = 14

If there is a 24 foot board cut into 2 pieces and one piece is 4 times longer than the other what are the lengths of each piece
erik [133]
First set up an equation as your approach. I will use the equation x+4x=24 because that way you are saying that something pluse itself times 4 equals 24 which is what you want.

simplify the equation

5x=24

x=24/5

So you know onw piece will be 24/5 of a foot and the ither qould be that times 4 so 96/24 of a foot. In decimals it would be 4.8 and 19.2

The Volume () of gas vanes inversely to the pressure (P). The volume of gas is 200 cm ^ 3 under pressure of 32 kg/cm^ 2 What wil
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

0.025 Kg/ cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

if two variables vary inversely, there is a negative relationship between both variables. the increase in one variable leads to a decrease in the other variable

the equation that represents inverse proportion :

y = \frac{b}{x}

where b = constant of proportionality

to determine the answer in this question :

1. determine constant of proportionality

200 = k / 32

k = 6400

2. Determine the amount of pressure using the constant of proportionality

256, 000 = 6400 / pressure

pressure = 6400 / 256, 000 = 0.025
