25% of the class likes mint gum, 5% likes orange, 20% likes raspberry lemonade, of the remaining % likes cherry. how much is the remaining % of students?
W=l-8
a=9
a=lw
9=(l-8)l
9=l²-8l
0=l²-8l-9
factor
0=(l-9)(l+1)
set to zero
l-9=0
l=9
l+1=0
l=-1, false length can't be negative
l=9
the length is 9 units long
Triangle, not a triangle, not a triangle, triangle
Determining if three side lengths can make a triangle is easier than it looks. All you have to do is use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of two side lengths of a triangle is always greater than the third side. If this is true for all three combinations of added side lengths, then you will have a triangle.[
<u>Given</u>:
Given that the bases of the trapezoid are 21 and 27.
The midsegment of the trapezoid is 5x - 1.
We need to determine the value of x.
<u>Value of x:</u>
The value of x can be determined using the trapezoid midsegment theorem.
Applying the theorem, we have;

where b₁ and b₂ are the bases of the trapezoid.
Substituting Midsegment = 5x - 1, b₁ = 21 and b₂ = 27, we get;

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2, we have;

Simplifying, we have;

Adding both sides of the equation by 2, we get;

Dividing both sides of the equation by 10, we have;

Thus, the value of x is 5.
