Answer:

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides being equal (also two equal base angles).

Let us assume the length of the two equal sides to be x meters each, and the length of the unequal side to be y meter. Since the perimeter of the triangle is 90 m, it can be expressed as:

x + x + y = 90

2x + y = 90

But the length of the equal side is  three fourth of the unequal side, i.e x = 3/4y

Therefore:

2(3/4y) + y = 90

3/2y + y = 90

2.5y = 90

y = 90/2.5

y = 36 meters

Also x = 3/4 * 36 = 27 meters

The length of the equal side is 27 meters each and that of the unequal side is 36 meters

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

The area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the figure below.

The radius of the circle is, <em>r</em> = 5 cm.

The sides of the rectangle are:

<em>l</em> = 11 cm

<em>b</em> = 11 cm.

Compute the area of the shaded region as follows:

Area of the shaded region = Area of rectangle - Area of circle

                                            =[l\times b]-[\pi r^{2}]\\\\=[11\times 11]-[3.14\times 5\times 5]\\\\=121-78.50\\\\=42.50

Thus, the area of the shaded region is 42.50 cm².

which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c from the equation 0 = 4x2 2x – 1 into the quadratic formula below
irinina [24]

0 = 4x^2+2x- 1

Quadratic formula is

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

'a' is the coefficient of x^2 = 4

'b' is the coefficient of x = 2

'c' is the constant = -1

Now we plug in all the values in quadratic formula

x = \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{2^2-4(4)(-1)}}{2(4)}

x = \frac{-2+-\sqrt{18}}{8}

The above one is the substitution of values of a,b,c in quadratic formula.

An aquarium is expanding its touch tank exhibit and is going to double the dimensions of the original tank.
tigry1 [53]
If you double the dimensions of the tank, you also double the volume of the tank.
Therefore, volume of the new touch tank = 2000 x 2 = 4000 ft^3
