5/8-(-7/8)
you multiply what is in the brackets by the negative sign.
5/8+7/8 (it is important to note that 2 negatives make a positive)
5/8+7/8=12/8
12/8=6/4
6/4=3/2
3/2 can also be written as 1 1/2

hope this helps :)

27. The altitude BD to the base AC of isosceles ABC has a length of 12. If AC = 10,

Vsevolod [243]

The answer is: 36

Because, bisecting the base of the triangle gives of two segments of five. This forms two triangles with base of 5 and altitude (in this case height) of 12. There exists a special pythagorean triplet triangled named 5-12-13 meaning if you have a right triangle with two of these sides then the unknown side is the number left out. In this case, the altitude forms a right angle on the base which allows the sides of the big isocs. triangle to be 13 giving us 13 + 13 + 10 to be the perimeter = 36.
