You are creating a logo for a local company in the shape of an isosceles triangle. The legs measure 5 inches each. What is the g

reatest number of whole inches the base can measure?
Mathematics

Bumek [7]2 years ago

Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the greatest length of the third side

We apply the triangle inequality theorem here

To get the third side, then the sum of the lengths of the two must be greater than the measure of the third side

let us call the third side x

Then;

5 + 5 > x

10 > x

The highest whole number before 10 is 9: so it is the greatest possible whole number the base of the isosceles triangle can have

P, Q & R form a right-angled triangle.
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

m<RPQ = 22°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

m<SRQ = 90°

PS = PQ

m<SQR = 46°

Required:

m<RPQ

Solution:

m<SQR + m<SRQ + m<RSQ = 180°

Substitute

46° + 90° + m<RSQ = 180°

m<RSQ = 180° - 136°

m<RSQ = 44°

Find m<PSQ:

m<PSQ = 180° - m<RSQ (Angles on a straight line

m<PSQ = 180° - 44° (Substitution)

m<PSQ = 136°

Find m<RPQ:

∆QSP is an isosceles triangle with two equal base angles. Therefore:

m<RPQ = ½(180° - 136°)

m<RPQ = 22°

what is the simplified form of the following expression? Assume X 0 and y 0. 2(^4 sqrt 16 x) -2(^4 sqrt 2y )+3 (^4 sqrt 81x ) -4
eduard

For this case we have the following expression:

2(\sqrt[4]{16x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(\sqrt[4]{81x})-4(\sqrt[4]{32y})

Rewriting the numbers within the roots we have:

2(\sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(\sqrt[4]{3*3*3*3x})-4(\sqrt[4]{2*2*2*2*2y})

Then, by properties of powers we have:

2(\sqrt[4]{2^4x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(\sqrt[4]{3^4x})-4(\sqrt[4]{2^42y})

Then, by radical properties we have:

2(2\sqrt[4]{x})-2(\sqrt[4]{2y})+3(3\sqrt[4]{x})-4(2\sqrt[4]{2y})

Rewriting the expression we have:

4\sqrt[4]{x}-2\sqrt[4]{2y}+9\sqrt[4]{x}-8\sqrt[4]{2y}

Finally, adding similar terms we have:

(4+9)\sqrt[4]{x}-(2+8)\sqrt[4]{2y}

13\sqrt[4]{x}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}

Answer:

The simplified form of the expression is:

13\sqrt[4]{x}-10\sqrt[4]{2y}
