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

LMNP is a rectangle. Find the value of x and the length of each diagonal. LN= x and MP= 2x -8
loris [4]

Answer:

<h2>x = 8 (Verified) ✅</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

If we visualize the figure, we can see that sides LN and MP are going to be parallel and of the same length.

So x = 2x - 8

Subtract x

0 = x - 8

x = 8

Check the answer

8 = 2(8) - 8

8 = 16 - 8

8 = 8 ✅

maria [59]

Answer:

  8 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount in the glass after m minutes can be described by ...

  a = 4 + 3/2m

We want to find m when a=16, so ...

  16 = 4 + 3/2m

  12 = 3/2m . . . . . subtract 4

  8 = m . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/3

It will take 8 minutes to fill the glass.

Compute the requested value. Choose the correct answer.
Fiesta28 [93]

Original price of the item = $14.95

Price after discount = $13.79

Discount offered = original price - price after discount = 14.95- 13.79 = $1.16

Now let us find the percentage of discount offered.

Percentage discount is given by the formula:

Percentage discount = \frac{MP-SP}{MP}*100

Where MP= Marked price= original price

SP= selling price= price after discount

Percentage discount = \frac{1.16}{14.95}*100

Percentage discount = 7.759 %
