Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles then the 2 legs are congruent.

Given the perimeter is 66, then sum the 3 sides and equate to 66, that is

x + 4x - 3 + 4x - 3 = 66 , that is

9x - 6 = 66 ( add 6 to both sides )

9x = 72 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 8

Y = x² + 7x - 5 Can be written in the form y = ( x + a )² + b. Find the value of a and the value of b.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

$a=\dfrac{7}{2} \\\\b=\dfrac{49}{4} \\$

Step-by-step explanation:

$y=x^2+7x-5\\\\=x^2+2*\dfrac{7}{2}*x +\dfrac{49}{4} -\dfrac{49}{4} -\dfrac{20}{4} \\\\=(x+\dfrac{7}{2} )^2+\dfrac{69}{4} \\\\a=\dfrac{7}{2} \\\\b=\dfrac{49}{4} \\$

Find the area of a rectangle with the length of 1 3/4 foot and a width of 1 1/2 foot.

Stolb23 [73]

To find the Area you need to use the formula L x W!! Anyways, You have to multiply the Length x the width. Your Length is 1 3/4 and your width is 1 1/2. So 1 3/4 x 1 1/2 is 2 5/8!!

Solve for x. x = 5° x = 18° x = 30° x = 36°

sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

x=36

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 angles, ∠EAF and ∠FAB are on a straight line. This means they are supplementary, and add to 180 degrees.

So,

∠EAF +∠FAB =180

We know that ∠EAF is 3x and ∠FAB is 2x, so we can substitute them in

3x+2x=180

Combine like terms

5x=180

Divide by 5 on both sides

x=36

So, x=36 degrees, or the last choice
