A picture can help.
The median to the long side divides the isosceles triangle into two right triangles with hypotenuse 10 and short leg 6. Thus the long leg (median of interest) is found by the Pythagorean theorem to be
... √(10² -6²) = √64 = 8
Then the midpoint of the short side is found to be 6 + (6/2) = 9 units to the side and 8/2 = 4 units above the opposite vertex. Hence the square of the length of that median is 9² + 4² = 97.
The sum of squares of interest is
... 8² + 2×97 = 258
Question:
Veronica is choosing between two health clubs. after how many months will the total cost for each health club be the same? yoga studio a: membership: $24.00 monthly fee: 21.50. yoga studio b: membership: $41.00 monthly fee: $17.25
Answer:
It takes 4 years for the total cost of each club to become equal
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
For yoga studio A:
membership: $24.00
monthly fee: 21.50.
For yoga studio B:
membership: $41.00
monthly fee: $17.25
To Find:
Number of months after which the total cost for each health club be the same = ?
Solution:
Let x be the number of months of membership, and y be equal the total cost.
For Yoga club A
y = 21.50 x + 24
For Yoga club B
y = 17.25 x + 41.00
we know that the prices, y , would be equal, we can set the two equations equal to each other.
21.50 x + 24 =17.25 x+ 41.00
Grouping the like terms,
21.50x - 17.25 x= 41.00 - 24
4.25x=17
x=
x = 4
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Subtract 5x from both sides.
Step 2: Add 2 to both sides.
Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.
Step 4: Check if solution is correct.
Therefore, x = 8.
