The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 4x -3. The perimeter of the triangle is 66. Find x

Mathematics
1 answer:
GalinKa [24]3 years ago

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

Let V be the event that a computer contains a virus, and let W be the event that a computer contains a worm. Suppose P(V) = 0.17
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer: 0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of the computer not containing neither a virus nor a worm is expressed as P(V^{C}∩W^{C}) , where P(V^{C}) is the probability that the event V doesn't happen and P(W^{C}) is the probability that the event W doesn't happen.

P(V^{C})= 1-P(V) = 1-0.17 = 0.83

P(W^{C})=1-P(W) = 1-0.05 = 0.95

Since V^{C} and W^{C} aren't mutually exclusive events, then:

P(V^{C}∪W^{C}) = P(V^{C}) + P(W^{C}) - P(V^{C}∩W^{C})

Isolating the probability that interests us:

P(V^{C}∩W^{C})= P(V^{C}) + P(W^{C}) - P(V^{C}∪W^{C})

Where P(V^{C}∪W^{C}) = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96

Finally:

P(V^{C}∩W^{C}) = 0.83 + 0.95 - 0.96 = 0.82

Jack says that because kites do not have parallel sides, a square is not a kite. Explain his error in thinking.
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Square is a kind of kite.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Kite is a flat shape with two pairs of sides and each pair is made of two adjacent sides that are equal in length.

Square has four equal sides and four equal angles of 90°

Square is a kind of kite because it has two pairs of equal adjacent side.

Hence, square is a kind of kite.
