The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Let x = length of base and leg

The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base

       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
     28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
    2.8 = x

Now, substitute the values:
       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
     28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
     28 = 28

Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

1.486m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of change is defined as the change in distance divided by the change in time

Rate = ∆distance/∆time

Distance = 16.5 and 5.5

Time = 10.9 and 3.5

When we put this into the formula above, we have:

Rate of change = 16.5 - 5.5 / 10.9 - 3.5

= 11/7.4

= 1.486m/s

The constant rate of change has been calculated to be equal to 1.486m/s

Two angles are supplementary. one angle is 60° more than twice the other. find the angles
Katarina [22]
Let the "other" angle be x. Then we can set up the equation: 2x + 60 + x = 180, because supplementary means that the angles add up to 180 degrees.
We get:
3x + 60 = 180
3x = 120
x = 40.
2(40) + 60 = 80 + 60 = 140.
So one angle is 140 degrees and the other angle is 40 degrees.

How do I solve this, it’s confusing
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

x = 90 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : 3 candies cost 90 cents

Given this we want to determine the cost of 1 candy.

To find the cost of "something" given the cost of multiple quantities of that "something" we simply divide the total price by the # of products.

Here the total price is 90 cents and the # of products is 3 ( 3 candies )

This means that the cost of 1 candy ( x ) would be = to 90 / 3
