Vinvika [58]3 years ago

Answer:

The length of PQ is <u>18</u> feet.

The length of PR is <u>18</u> feet.

The length of QR is <u>24</u> feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to set an equation up for this problem is:

\frac{4}{3}x+x+x=60

where x is the three lengths of the isosceles triangle, but the base QR is 4/3 the length of the other two congruent sides, length PQ and PR. The 60 represents the total length of the perimeter.

Then, solve for x from the equation, and you’ll get x=18. But your not done yet. Since the variable x in the equation stands for the sides of the isosceles triangle, so plug 18 into the equation and it should look like this:

\frac{4}{3}(18)+18+18=60

Don’t solve the whole equation, just solve the \frac{4}{3}(18) part of the equation, which is equal to 24. So the final equation is this:

24+18+18=60

Conclusion: 24 is the length of QR, and 18 is the length of PQ and PR. And they all equal 60, which is the perimeter. This is very true because the length of PQ and PR are the same (length 18), since it’s an isosceles triangle, and the length of QR is 4/3 the length of PQ and PR (4/3 of 18= 24).

Sorry for the long explanation.

But hope this helps and answers your question :)

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

1.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply each shot by its point value. Then add. Divide this sum by the total number of shots taken.

288*2 + 79*3 + 340*0 = 813

----------------------------------------

288 + 79 + 340 = 707

813 / 707 = 14.992

The weighted average is approximately 1.15 points per shot.

the jedi have a weapon that can shoot a projectile 20 miles. find the area that the projectile can land in.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

The area he can cover with that weapon is 1,256 miles².

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the Jedi won't move and that he can shoot in every direction, he'd be shooting at a circle with a radius of 20 miles. Therefore the are that he can cover with that weapon is the area of the circle, which is shown below:

area = pi*r²

area = 3.14*(20)²

area = 3.14*400

area = 1,256 miles²

The area he can cover with that weapon is 1,256 miles².
