Answer: 5..6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse of isosceles triangle is 8 inches

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal

Suppose the other side is x

Using Pythagoras we can write

\Rightarrow x^2+x^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=64\\\Rightarrow x^2=32\\\Rightarrow x=4\sqrt{2}\approx 5.6\ in.

Therefore, the lengths of the legs is 5.6 inches

Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time he will use the Same amount of plan
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

3 7/12 kg

He doesn't have enough plant to feed strawberry 2 more times and tomato 1 more time

Step-by-step explanation:

On sunday , sheldon bought 4 1/2 kg of plant food. He uses 1 2/3 kg on his strawberry plants and used 1/4 kg for his tomato plants. b. Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time. He will use the same amounts of plant food as before. How much plant food will be need? Does he have enough left to do so.

Total plant bought = 4 1/2 kg

Strawberry = 1 2/3 kg

Tomato = 1/4 kg

Strawberry + tomato

= 1 2/3 + 1/4

= 5/3 + 1/4

= 20+3/12

= 23/12 kg

Total remaining after Sunday

= Total - used

= 4 1/2 - 23/12

= 9/2 - 23/12

= 54-23/12

= 31/12

= 2 7/12 kg

Sheldon wants to feed his strawberry plants 2 more times and his tomato plants one more time.

Strawberry = 2 × 1 2/3

= 2 × 5/3

= 10/3 kg

Tomato = 1 × 1/4

= 1/4 kg

Total plant needed to feed strawberry two more times and tomato 1 more time

= 10/3 kg + 1/4 kg

= 40+3/12

= 43/12 kg

= 3 7/12 kg

He will need 3 7/12 kg of plant

He doesn't have enough plant to feed strawberry 2 more times and tomato 1 more time

x in terms of b:

-2(bx - 5) = 16

-2bx + 10 = 16

-2bx =  6

    x = 6 / -2b

    x = -3/b

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

when b = 3 then

-2(3x - 5) = 16

-6x + 10 = 16

-6x =  6

  x = -1

Answer

The value of x in terms of b is -3/b

The value of x when b is 3 is -1
