So the trick I was taught to use was PEMDAS which stands for Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. You solve the parenthesis first, followed by exponents if there are any. Multiplication and division are equal. So if there's multiplication and division in the problem, you solve the one closest to the left or start of the equation first. The same rules apply for addition and subtraction. They are both equal so you solve the first one first, even if the subtraction is before the addition.
Answer:
The base is 10cm. The other two sides are 20cm each
Step-by-step explanation:
I believe that "the base is twice shorter" means that the two equal sides of the iscosceles triangle are twice the length of the base.
Using the equation x + 2x +2x = 50 where x is the length of the base, we can simplify it to
5x=50. Then divide both sides by 5 to get the results:
x=10 for the base and
2x=20 for the other two sides.
Answer:
About 159 weigh more than 165 g and about 159 g weigh less Than 135 g
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Mean, μ = 150
Standard deviation, σ = 15
Using the Zscore formula :
Zscore = (x - μ) / σ
For x > 165
P(x > 165)
Z = (165 - 150) / 15
Z = 15 /15 = 1
P(Z > 1) = 0.15866 (Z probability calculator)
1000 * 0.15866 = 158.66 = 159
For x < 135
P(x < 135)
Z = (135 - 150) / 15
Z = - 15 /15 = - 1
P(Z > - 1) = 0.15866 (Z probability calculator)
1000 * 0.15866 = 158.66 = 159
