The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 55, 55 and 70.

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and a vertex angle.

Let b =the measure of one of the base angles.

Let v = the measure of the the vertex angle.

The vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of the base angles.

v = b + b − 40 = 2 b − 40

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.

b + b + v = 180

Substitute 2 b − 40 for v .

b + b + 2 b − 40 = 180

4 b − 40 = 180

+40+40

Combine like terms.

Add 40 to both sides.

4b=220

Divide by 4

4 b/4 = 220 /4

b = 55

v = 2 b − 40

v = 2 ( 55 ) − 40 = 70

Select the objects that hold the same amount of liquid as a 98 fluid ounce jug
Tema [17]
To answer this question, you need to know how many fluid ounces are in a pint and in a quart.  None of the choices reflect 98 fl oz, so I showed the ones that would hold 96 fluid ounces.

1 cup = 8 fl oz
2 cups = 16 fl oz
1 pint = 2 cups, so 1 pint also equals 16 fl oz.

2 pints equal 1 quart, so 16 x 2 = 32 oz (the number of fluid ounces in a quart)

1 pint - 16 fl oz
1 quart = 32 fl oz

Choice A: 3 quarts x 32 =96 fl oz.
Choice B: 2 quarts x 32 = 64 fl oz
Choice C: 2 quarts  x 32 + 2 pints x 16 = 64 + 32 (96 fl oz)
Choice D: 1 quart x 32 + 8 cups x 8 = 32 + 64 (96 fl oz)
Choice E: 2 cups x 8 + 2 pints x 16 = 16 + 32 (48 fl oz)
