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

What is the tan invers of 3i/-1-i

postnew [5]

z = 3i / (-1 - i )

z = 3i / (-1 - i ) × (-1 + i ) / (-1 + i )

z = (3i × (-1 + i )) / ((-1)² - i ²)

z = (-3i + 3i ²) / ((-1)² - i ²)

z = (-3 - 3i ) / (1 - (-1))

z = (-3 - 3i ) / 2

Note that this number lies in the third quadrant of the complex plane, where both Re(z) and Im(z) are negative. But arctan only returns angles between -π/2 and π/2. So we have

arg(z) = arctan((-3/2)/(-3/2)) - π

arg(z) = arctan(1) - π

arg(z) = π/4 - π

arg(z) = -3π/4

where I'm taking arg(z) to have a range of -π < arg(z) ≤ π.

A license plate consists of two letters followed by two digits; for example, $MP78$. Neither the digits nor the letters may be r

alex41 [277]

If in a number plate two different alphabets need to be selected then there are 650 such number plates that can be formed in such a way that the alphabets come in increasing order.

Given that a number plate can be formed using 2 alphabets which must come in increasing order.

We are required to find the number of plates that can be formed.

Number of total alphabets=26.

The number of plates will be equal to the number of ways in which two alphabets can be arranged.

Combination is the number of ways in which some combinations can be formed. It is expressed as n $C_{r}$ =n!/r!(n-r)!

Number of license plates=26 $C_{1}$ *25 $C_{1}$

=26*25

=650 plates

Hence If in a number plate two different alphabets need to be selected then there are 650 such number plates that can be formed in such a way that the alphabets come in increasing order.

Forty-two of the students in band own their instrument.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

112 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the total number of students in the band.

From the question,

We were told that 37.5% of the total owns their individual instruments and this amount to 42 students

The total number of students can calculated for as follows:

37.5% x T = 42

37.5/100 x T = 42

Cross multiply to express in linear form

37.5 x T = 100 x 42

Divide both side by 37.5

T = (100 x 42) /37.5

T = 112

Therefore, there are 112 students in the band
