This triangle has base 16 therefore the sides must be 17cm and 17 cm

When we make a altitude it divides it into two right triangles and there is a property in which the altitude of the isoceles triangle divides the base in 2 equal halves

So the side of the right triangle will be x , 8 , 17

Using pythgoreus theorem

x²+8²=17²

x = √225

x = 15

So the altitude is 15 cm

If a table seats 7, what is the least number of tables needed to seat 155 people
Fynjy0 [20]

23 is the minimum because 155 does not go into evenly and you have to have enough room for everybody, and make sure not to leave anybody out. 155 divided by 7 is 22.1428571429, you have to round it up to 23 so that everybody has a seat. Hope it helps!!

At a wedding reception, the caterer served fishing chicken. The fish dinner cost $12 per person in the chicken cost $9 per perso
maw [93]

Answer:

80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y

so

12x+9y=2544------------------1

x+y= 232------------------------2

from 2

x= 232-y

substitute the value of x in 1

12(232-y)+9y=2544

2784-12y+9y=2544

2784-3y=2544

3y= 2784-2544

3y=240

y= 240/3

y=80

put y= 80 in 2

x+80= 232

x= 232-80

x=152

Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken
