Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter of a triangle = the sum of the three sides.
In an isosceles the legs are equal (2x - 6) and the base is x
Perimeter = (x) + (2x - 6) + (2x - 6)
38 = 5x - 12
38 + 12 = 5x
50 = 5x

10 = x
Answer:
The area is 19.63.
Step-by-step explanation:
<span>Chris' average speed is 3.5mph:
Lets take Chris' brother speed = B
then Chris speed = (B+ 1) mph-------given in the question
and:
The average speed for covering 18 miles= chris' average speed + his brother's
average speed = (B+ 1) + B
since Speed = Distance covered / time taken
then average speed for 18 miles can also be found by: 18 miles/3 hours = 6 miles per hour
then we have; (B+ 1) + B = 6mph
(B +1) = (6-B)
B+B = 6-1=5
2B=5
B=5/2=2.5 mph (this is Chris' brother average speed)
Hence Chris' average speed is = B+1= 2.5+1= 3.5mph</span>
