The isosceles triangle is missing so i have attached it.
Answer:
Length of unknown side = 5p + 6
Step-by-step explanation:
In isosceles triangle, two of the sides are equal. In the attached triangle, we see that one of the equal sides is given as 5p + 3.
Thus,the second equal side is also 5p + 3.
Now, perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the three sides.
We have two sides and let the third side be denoted as x.
Thus;
Perimeter = (5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x
We are given perimeter = 15p + 12
Thus;
(5p + 3) + (5p + 3) + x = 15p + 12
10p + 6 + x = 15p + 12
Rearranging, we have;
x = 15p - 10p + 12 - 6
x = 5p + 6
Answer: 2 more calories skiing
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of each line.
Slope of Skiing:
= (Y₂ - Y₁) / (X₂ - X₁)
= (400 - 240) / (50 - 30)
= 8
= 8 calories per minute
Slope of Hiking
= (360 - 120) / (60 - 20)
= 6
= 6 calories per minute
Difference:
= 8 - 6
= 2 more calories skiing
