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

jonny [76]
3/8 of a foot = 3/8 x 12/1  or 4  1/2 inches

So our 1/2 inch grows by a factor of 9  because 4 1/2 ÷ 1/2 = 9  Think how many 1/2 dollars are in 4  1/2 dollars.  (Answer is 9)

So our 8 4/9 in the catalog has to grow the same

8  4/9   x 9  = 8  4/9  x 9/1 = 76/9 x 9/1  or 76 inches which is 6 ft 4 inches.
(76 ÷12 = 6 r4)

Mario builds a triangular table to fit in the corner of his rectangular bedroom. Is it possible to construct more than one table
Viefleur [7K]

Answer 1 with Explanation

Obtained from the question, Mario builds a triangular table to fit in a corner of the bedroom with the construction measure of 45,90 and 45 degrees which will be possible. In order to construct any physical object, proper tool are needed for accuracy of the object to built more than one of the similar table. With the help of proper instruments and measurement Mario can easily make a triangular table for his room's corner.

Answer 2 with Explanation

As Mario built the triangular table for the corner to fit his bedroom corner. He make use of the special instrument and tool for the measurement. Indeed, it is possible to construct more than one table with the angles 45,45,90 as each of them will be similar in shape but with different values of x, hence it will differ in sizes in terms of length. The length will differ as per the requirement of Mario's needs.

Usimov [2.4K]

Kilograms is a type of measurement for weight, and so the converted measure should also be weight (which leaves only oz. and lbs.)

The converting ratio of kilograms to pounds is: 1 = 2.2

The converting ratio of kilograms to ounces is: 1 = 35.274

This means that pounds, or (B) is your closest answer
