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

Which equation involves a prime quadratic and cannot be solved by factoring? A. x2 + 6x + 9 = 0 B. x2 − x − 6 = 0 C. x2 + 3x − 4
Hitman42 [59]

The answer is D, because the others can be solved. A when factored is equal to -3, when B is factored it is equal to 3,-1, when C is factored it is 1,-4. D can be solved but you will only get irrational numbers which can't be used.

Please help! Could you answer all!?
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

1.) 48

2.) 65

3.) 36

Step-by-step explanation:

1.)     If the equation is 6(x-4) and x = 12, then all we have to do is plug in the value of x. When we plug in, all we do is substitute 12 for x because they mentioned in the question that x = 12. So, we end up getting 6(12 - 4). After solving this, we get 48.

2.)     This problem is a lot like the last problem. All we need to do is substitute /plug in the values of x and y into the equation, to get 4(4^2) - 35/7 - (8 + 14). After solving, we get 65.

3.) .     This problem, once again, is also a lot like the last problems. We need to substitute the value of x into the equation 8x+12. Since we know from the problem that x is 3, all we have to do is 8 * 3 + 12.
