An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle where 2 sides are equal.
Picture out 2 triangles with the same base length.
On the first triangle, its legs are twice the length of the legs of the second triangle.
To put it into variables, let:
B = the same base length of the two triangles
A = the length of one leg the smaller triangle
2A = the length of one leg of the bigger triangle
Given: Perimeter of smaller triangle = 23cm
Perimeter of bigger triangle = 43cm
Recall the formula for solving the perimeter of a triangle:
Perimeter = A + B + C
where, A, B, and C are the legs of the triangle
Since the triangle involved is an isosceles triangle, therefore, we can say that
Perimeter = 2A + B , 2 legs are equal ( A=C )
Substituting the given perimeter value to the formula.
23cm = 2A + B ⇒ equation 1 (smaller triangle)
43cm = 2(2A) + B ⇒ equation 2 (bigger triangle)
Simplifying equation 2.
43cm = 4A + B
(rearranging) B = 43cm - 4A ⇒ equation 3
Substituting equation 3 to equation 1:
(equation 1) 23cm = 2A + B
23cm = 2A + (43cm - 4A)
23cm = -2A + 43cm
2A = 43cm - 23cm
2A = 20cm ⇒ length of the leg of the bigger triangle
A = 10cm ⇒ length of the leg of the smaller triangle
To solve for the base length, just substitute the value of A to equation 3
(equation 3) B = 43cm - 4A
B = 43cm - 4(10cm)
B = 3 cm
Final Answer:
• For the smaller triangle, the length of the sides are 10cm, 10cm, and 3cm
• For the bigger triangle, the length of the sides are 20cm, 20cm, and 3cm
The decimal for 4 5/8 is 4.625 the 4 represents the whole so 5/8 stays the same and you place the 4 in front of .625
A. 200,000. Look at the place value for hundred thousand; the number in it is 2. The number in the place value after it is a 3, and that does not round up.
w is the width and it is the independent variable. You can pick any positive whole number you want (within reason of course; you can't go to infinity or go beyond some set boundary). Whatever you picked for w, the expression 2w-5 will be dependent on it. So the length is dependent on the width.
For instance, if the width is w = 10 feet, then 2w-5 = 2*10-5 = 20-5 = 15 feet is the length. The choice of 10 feet for the width directly affects the length being 15 feet.
Answer: $32,207,620.36
Step-by-step explanation:
What you need to do is use the formula A = P(1+r)^n
A = Your answer
P = Is the amount Jodi started with.
R = Is the annual interest
N = Number of years
Then plug in your numbers. Always make sure you use PEMDAS. This means parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. You always start with the things in the parenthesis and go on down the list. Once you finish the (1 + (1.8)) = 2.8 you will have. A = 8,535 (2.8)^8. You then multiply 2.8 with the exponent 8. Then multiply 8,535 and your answer for 2.8 times 8 and you get your answer.
