Answer:

The length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm perimeter is 12 cm

The length of the equal sides of the isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 82 cm perimeter is 36 cm

The base length of both triangles is 10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The base length of the triangles are equal

The base length of one of the triangle = The base length of the other triangle

The equal sides of one of the triangles = 3 × The length of the equal sides of the other

The perimeter of the triangles are; 34 cm and 82 cm

Let 'b' represent the base length of each triangle, let 'a' represent the length of an equal side of the smaller triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm and let 'c' represent the length of an equal side of the larger triangle with a perimeter of 82 cm

For the smaller triangle, we have;

b + 2·a = 34..(1)

For the other triangle;

b + 2·c = 82...(2)

Given that the side length of the larger triangle are larger than those of the smaller triangle, and that the side length of the larger triangle is 3 times the side length of the smaller triangle, we get;

c = 3·a

By the substitution method, from equation (2) we get;

b + 2·c = b + 2 × 3·a = b + 6·a = 82

∴ b + 6·a = 82...(3)

Subtracting equation (1) from equation (3) gives;

b + 6·a - (b + 2·a) = 82 - 34 = 48

b - b + 6·a - 2·a = 48

4·a = 48

a = 48/4 = 12

The length of the equal sides of the 34 cm perimeter (smaller) isosceles triangle, a = 12 cm

From c = 3·a, and a = 12, we get;

c = 3 × 12 = 36

The length of the equal sides of the 82 cm perimeter (larger) isosceles triangle, c = 36 cm

From equation (1), we get;

b + 2·a = 34

∴ b + 2 × 12 = 34

b = 34 - 2 × 12 = 10

The base length of both triangles, b = 10 cm

What is the circumference of circle P?<br><br> Express your answer in terms of π.
Zolol [24]

Answer:

Circumference of a circle= 2\pi r

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of any circle is the total length of its boundary which can be calculated by the formula:

                Circumference of a circle= 2\pi r

               Where 'r' is the radius of the circle

For, the given circle the circumference can be find in terms of \pi  by putting some value of radius in the formula, which gives the circumference in terms of \pi.
