Answer:
Base = 24 cm or 10cm
Step-by-step explanation:
REMEMBER:
An isosceles triangle ABC with base BC = ‘b' & height AD = ‘h' & its equal sides =13 cm & area = 60 cm²
Using the formulas
There are 2 solutions for 
≈ 
Less complex:
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h = 60
=> h = 120/b
In right triangle ABD
13² = h² + b² /4 ( by Pythagoras law)
=>169 = 120²/b² + b²/4
=>676 b² = 57600 + b^4
=> b^4 - 676 b² + 57600 = 0
=> b² = 676 +- √(676² - 4*57600) / 2
=> b²= 676 +- √(226576) /2
=> b² = (676 +- 476 )/2
=> b² = 1152/2 , 200 /2
=> b² = 576 , 100
=> b = 24, 10
So, Base = 24 cm or 10cm
Answer:
Explanation:
1. By driving 6 miles each, the cars will be 6 miles + 6 miles = 12 miles appart.
2. When one car stops and the other car makes a 90° left-hand turn and drive 8 miles, you can model the situation with a right triangle, where one leg is 12 miles, the other leg is 8 miles, and the hypotenuse is the distance that separates the cars.
Hence, you must use Pythagoras to find that distance.
3. Pythagoras
- hypotenuse² = leg₁² + leg₂²
- hypotenuse = (12 mile)² + (8 mile)² = 144 mile² + 64 mile² = 208 mile²
, which is rounded to the neartest tenth of a mile.

Answer:
This is 0.14 to the nearest hundredth
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly we list the parameters;
Drive to school = 40
Take the bus = 50
Walk = 10
Sophomore = 30
Junior = 35
Senior = 35
Total number of students in sample is 100
Let W be the event that a student walked to school
So P(w) = 10/100 = 0.1
Let S be the event that a student is a senior
P(S) = 35/100 = 0.35
The probability we want to calculate can be said to be;
Probability that a student walked to school given that he is a senior
This can be represented and calculated as follows;
P( w| s) = P( w n s) / P(s)
w n s is the probability that a student walked to school and he is a senior
We need to know the number of seniors who walked to school
From the table, this is 5/100 = 0.05
So the Conditional probability is as follows;
P(W | S ) = 0.05/0.35 = 0.1429
To the nearest hundredth, that is 0.14
Percent measn parts out of 100
105%=105/100=21/20
