Answer:
Side a = 35ft
Side b = 35ft
Side c = 20ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the perimeter of a triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c
In an isosceles triangle, 2 sides are equal to each other.
So, Side a = Side b
In the question, we are told that:
The two equal sides are each 5 ft less than twice the length of the third side.
Hence,
a = 2c - 5
b = 2c - 5
P = 90ft
P = a + b + c
90 = 2c - 5 + 2c - 5 + c
Collect like terms
90 = 5c - 10
90 + 10 = 5c
100 = 5c
c = 100/5
c = 20
The length of the third side = 20ft
a = 2c - 5
= 2 × 20 - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35 ft
b =2c - 5
= 2 × 20 - 5
= 40 - 5
= 35 ft
Therefore,
Side a = 35ft
Side b = 35ft
Side c = 20ft
Answer:
Kayla bought 7 tacos and 10 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of hotdogs be x.
Let the number of tacos be y.
i) It is given that x = y + 3
ii) It is also given that 3.5x + 4y = 63, therefore 7x + 8y = 126
iii) substituting the value of x from i) in ii) we get 7(y + 3) + 8y = 126
therefore 15y + 21 = 126
therefore 15y = 105
therefore y = 7
Therfore Kayla bought 7 tacos
iv) Using the value of y from iii) in i) we x = 7 + 3 = 10
Therefore Kayla bought 10 hotdogs
First, we compute the highest common factor between the numbers of toys. The highest common factor for 45, 105 and 75 is 15. Therefore, we will need 15 shelves. On each shelf, there will be 45/15 = 3 dolls, 105/15 = 7 footballs and 75/15 = 5 small cars
