Answer:

12 units

Step-by-step explanation:

base is x

one of the legs measure 4x-6

therefore, perimeter is equal to

2 (4x - 6) + x = 96

8x - 12 + x = 96

9x = 96 + 12

9x = 108

x = 108/9 = 12 units

d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that angle A is in IV quadrant

So A/2 would be in II quadrant.

sin A = -1/3

cos A = \sqrt{1-sin^2 A} =\frac{2\sqrt{2} }{3}

(cos A is positive since in IV quadrant)

Using this we can find cos A/2

cosA = 2cos^2 \frac{A}{2} -1\\Or cos \frac{A}{2} =-\sqrt{\frac{1+cosA}{2} } =-\sqrt{\frac{3+2\sqrt{2} }{6} }

Diego is solving this system of equations:
USPshnik [31]

The solutions of the equations are x = 1 and y = 2

The system of equations are

4x + 3y = 10

-4x + 5y = 6

Here we have to use the elimination method. Eliminate the x term and find the value of y term

Add both equation

3y + 5y = 10 +6

Add the like terms

8y = 16

y = 16 / 8

Divide  the terms

y = 2

Substitute the value of x in the first equation

4x + 3y = 10

4x + 3×2 =  10

Multiply the terms

4x + 6  = 10

4x = 10 - 6

4x = 4

x = 4 / 4

Divide the terms

x = 1

Hence, the solutions of the equations are x = 1 and y = 2
