Answer:
5 units
Step-by-step explanation:
An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two legs that have the same length. The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of all sides of the triangle. Now taking this into account, we know that:
2L + B = 14 units
Where:
L is the measure of one leg
B is the measure of the base
Since two legs are the same and the base is 1 less, this means the measure of each leg would be:
B = L -1
Now we have two equations:
2L + B = 14 units
B = L- 1
We plug one equation into the other and make 1 equation:
2L + (L-1) = 14 units
Get rid of the parentheses:
2L + L - 1 = 14
Combine like terms:
3L - 1 = 14
Add 1 to both sides of the equation:
3L - 1 + 1 = 14 + 1
3L = 15
Divide both sides by 3:
3L/3 = 15/3
L = 5
So the length of a leg is 5 units
Let's check!
B = L - 1
B = 5 - 1
B = 4
Then we use that to solve for the perimeter:
2L + B
2(5) + 4
10 + 4 = 14
Answer:
The slope is -5/2 :)

Answer:
Paasche's Index= 168.63= 169
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>Products</u></em>
<em><u>Base-Period Current Period</u></em>
Quantities Mean Shipping Quantities Mean Shipping
(Year 1) Cost per Unit ($) (Year 5) Cost per Unit ($)
A 1,500 10.50 4000 15.90
B 5,000 16.25 3000 33.00
C 6,500 12.20 8000 18.40
D 2,500 20.00 3000 35.50
Paasche's Index= ∑ pn.qn/∑po.qn* 100
Where pn is the price of the current year and qn is the quantity of the current year and po. is the price of the base year and qo. is the quantity of the base year.
Paasche's Index is the percentage ratio of the aggregate of given period prices weighted by the quantities sold or consumed in the given period to the aggregate of the base period prices weighted by the given period quantities.
Multiplying the current year prices with the current year quantities and the base year price with the current year quantities we get.
Product pn.qn po.qn
A 15.90* 4000 10.50* 4000
= 63600 =42000
B 33.00*3000 16.25 * 3000
= 99000 = 48750
C 18.40* 8000 12.20 *8000
=147200 =97600
D 35.50* 3000 20.00*3000
<u> =</u><u>106500 60,000 </u><u> </u>
<u>∑ 416300 248350 </u>
<u />
Paasche's Index= ∑ pn.qn/∑po.qn= <u> </u>416300/ 248350 *100 = 1.676=1.68= 168.63= 169
