Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

everything has a infinite amount of zeroes behind the decimal point or where it ends at least

Just add a decimal after 20 because it is a whole number.
20.00 - 1.97 = 18.03
Just remember to line up your decimals when subtracting.

The length of the base of an isosceles triangle is x. The length of a leg is 3x-5. The perimeter of the triangle is 39. Find X.
frozen [14]

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, both legs are always congruent. The length of one leg is given, and the other leg has to be the same. The perimeter of this triangle can be written as:

x+(3x-5)+(3x-5)=39

With this equation, all you need to do is solve for x.

3+3x-5+3x-5=39\\(-5-5)+(x+3x+3x)=39\\-10+7x=39\\7x=49\\x=7

5x – 12y – 17 = 0<br> 1*9(x + 2) - (y + 1) + 3 = 0
valentina_108 [34]

Answer: x=\frac{12y+17}{5}

y=\frac{-5x+17}{-12}

x=\frac{y-20}{9}

y=9x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

5x-12y-17=0 (plus 17 from both sides)

5x-12y=17 (plus 12y from both sides)

5x=12y+17 (divide 5 from everything)

x=\frac{12y+17}{5}

5x-12y-17=0 (plus 17 from both sides)

5x-12y=17 (minus 5x from both sides)

-12y=-5x+17 (divide everything by -12)

y=\frac{-5x+17}{-12}

1*9(x+2)-(y+1)+3=0 (distribute 9 to x and to 2) (distribute -1 to y and to 1)

1*9x+18-y-1+3=0 (times 9x by 1)

9x+18-y-1+3=0 (combine like terms)

9x-y+20=0 (minus 20 from both sides)

9x-y=-20 (plus y to both sides)

9x=y-20 (divide 9 from both sides)

x=\frac{y-20}{9}

1*9(x+2)-(y+1)+3=0 (distribute 9 to x and to 2) (distribute -1 to y and to 1)

1*9x+18-y-1+3=0 (times 9x by 1)

9x+18-y-1+3=0 (combine like terms)

9x-y+20=0 (minus 20 from both sides)

9x-y=-20 (minus 9x from both sides)

-y=-9x-20 (divide -1 from everything)

y=9x+20

3. In the fig. AD = DC and AB = BC. Prove that ΔADB = ΔCDB<br>​
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

The two column proof is presented as follows;

The given parameters are;

\overline {AD} = \overline {DC} and \overline {AB} = \overline {BC}

Statement               {}                     Reason

\overline {AD} = \overline {DC} and \overline {AB} = \overline {BC}       {}       Given

\overline {BD}  ≅  \overline {BD}               {}                    Reflexive property

\overline {BD}  =  \overline {BD}               {}                     By the definition of congruency

ΔADB ≅ ΔCDB             {}                By Side-Side-Side (SSS) rule of congruency

ΔADB = ΔCDB              {}                 By the definition of congruency

If the three sides of one triangle are congruent to the corresponding three sides of another triangle, then both triangles are said to be congruent according to the SSS rule of congruency

A triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 6. If sin aº
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

24 units

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle was dilated by a scale factor of 6. If sin a° = four fifths and segment DE measures 30 units, how long is segment EF?

triangle DEF in which angle F is a right angle, angle D measures a degrees, and angle E measures b degrees

15.5 units

24 units

30 units

37.5 units

From the description:

angle D measures a degrees

opposite to angle D is side EF

side DE (which measures 30 units) is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

We also know that

\sin (a) = \frac{4}{5}

\sin (a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

From definition:

\sin (a) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}

Replacing:

\frac{4}{5} =\frac{ EF}{DE} \\\\EF = \frac{4}{5} *DE\\\\EF = \frac{4}{5} *30 \\\\= 24 units
