Answer:

Perimeter of the smaller triangle = 1.75x

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the two equal sides of an isosceles triangle = x

Therefore, length of the base = (1\frac{1}{2})x

Perimeter of this isosceles triangle = x + x + (1\frac{1}{2})x

                                                          = 2x + (1+\frac{1}{2})x

                                                          = 2x + x + \frac{x}{2}

                                                          = \frac{5x}{2}

Since, smaller triangle has a perimeter that is half the perimeter of the larger triangle,

Length of each corresponding side of smaller triangle will be half of the larger triangle.

Length of sides of the smaller triangle = \frac{x}{2},\frac{x}{2},(1\frac{1}{2})\frac{x}{2}

Perimeter of the smaller triangle = \frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{2}+(1\frac{1}{2})\frac{x}{2}

                                                      = x + \frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{4}

                                                      = \frac{3}{2}x+\frac{x}{4}

                                                      = \frac{6}{4}x+\frac{x}{4}

                                                      = \frac{7}{4}x

                                                      = 1.75x

Therefore, expression that represents the perimeter of the smaller triangle is (1.75x)

The probability that an archer hits the target when it is windy is 0.4; when it is not windy, her probability of hitting the tar
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that this archer hits her first shot is given by t the probability of being windy and that she hits the shot added to the probability of not being windy and that she hits the shot:

P(H_{first}) = P(H_w)*P(W)+P(H_{nw})*(1-P(W))\\P(H_{first})=0.4*0.3+0.7*(1-0.3)\\P(H_{first})=0.12+0.49 = 0.61

If the probability that she hits the target on her first shot is 0.x1, the value of x is:

P(H_{first})=0.61=0.x1\\x=6

Sarah is allowed to watch no more than 10 hours of television each week. Sarah has already watched 6 hours of television. Define
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Inequality = 6 + x ≤ 10

x(Number of hours more of television Sarah can still watch this week) = 4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Define a variable, set up an inequality and solve that inequality to determine how many more hours of television Sarah can watch this week.

We are told in the question that:

Sarah is allowed to watch no more than 10 hours of television each week.

This means :

Sarah can watch tv for less than or equal to 10 hours in a week. Sarah has already watched 6 hours of television.

Hence:

The number of hours left that Sarah can watch television in a week is represented as x

Our Inequality Equation =

6hours + x hours ≤ 10 hours

6 + x ≤ 10

Solving the inequality

x ≤ 10 - 6

x ≤ 4 hours

This means Sarah still has no more than (less than or equal to) 4 hours or television left to watch in this week
