In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the vertex angle and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the base angles.
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: three pieces.
The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.
1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.
The sample size should be 250.
Our margin of error is 4%, or 0.04. We use the formula

To find the z-score:
Convert 98% to a decimal: 0.98
Subtract from 1: 1-0.98 = 0.02
Divide both sides by 2: 0.02/2 = 0.01
Subtract from 1: 1-0.01 = 0.99
Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this value has a z-score of approximately 2.33. Using this, our margin of error and our proportion, we have:

Divide both sides by 2.33:

Square both sides:

Multiply both sides by n:

Divide both sides to isolate n:
