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 you are asked to find 621 divided by 59, how do you know the quotient will be greater than 10 before you actually divide. (my

Nitella [24]

For me, I know that this answer would be greater than 10 because for a fact, 621 and 59 aren't just perfect multiples of 10. But I don't know, because all humans don't really think alike. So, your teacher might say this doesn't work. Then in that case, I am very sorry. :0

But in any case, I hope this helps and have a good night! :D

Find a set of parametric equations for y= 5x + 11, given the parameter t= 2 – x

Sati [7]

Answer:

$x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $y = 5\cdot x + 11$ and $t = 2-x$ , the parametric equations are obtained by algebraic means:

1) $t = 2-x$ Given

2) $y = 5\cdot x +11$ Given

3) $y = 5\cdot (x\cdot 1)+11$ Associative and modulative properties

4) $y = 5\cdot \left[(-1)^{-1} \cdot (-1)\right]\cdot x +11$ Existence of multiplicative inverse/Commutative property

5) $y = [5\cdot (-1)^{-1}]\cdot [(-1)\cdot x]+11$ Associative property

6) $y = -5\cdot (-x)+11$ $\frac{a}{-b} = -\frac{a}{b}$ / $(-1)\cdot a = -a$

7) $y = -5\cdot (-x+0)+11$ Modulative property

8) $y = -5\cdot [-x + 2 + (-2)]+11$ Existence of additive inverse

9) $y = -5 \cdot [(2-x)+(-2)]+11$ Associative and commutative properties

10) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) + (-5)\cdot (-2) +11$ Distributive property

11) $y = (-5)\cdot (2-x) +21$ $(-a)\cdot (-b) = a\cdot b$

12) $y = (-5)\cdot t +21$ By 1)

13) $y = -5\cdot t +21$ $(-a)\cdot b = -a \cdot b$ /Result

14) $t+x = (2-x)+x$ Compatibility with addition

15) $t +(-t) +x = (2-x)+x +(-t)$ Compatibility with addition

16) $[t+(-t)]+x= 2 + [x+(-x)]+(-t)$ Associative property

17) $0+x = (2 + 0) +(-t)$ Associative property

18) $x = 2-t$ Associative and commutative properties/Definition of subtraction/Result

In consequence, the right answer is $x = 2-t$ and $y = -5\cdot t +21$ .

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 599 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Tuesday. There were 51 fewer cheeseburgers s

Arturiano [62]

Cheeseburgers = 274
Hamburgers = 325

Divide 599 by 2 = 299.50 total burgers split in half
Divide 51 by 2= 25.50
Subtract 299.50- 25.50= 274cheeseburgers
Add 299.50+ 25.50= 325hamburgers
