The congruent sides of an isosceles triangle are each 1 unit longer than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. The pe

rimeter of the triangle is the same as the perimeter of a square whose side length is 2 units shorter than the length of the shortest side of the triangle. What is the length of the shortest side of the triangle?

Answer:

10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the length of the shortest side of the triangle by x.  Then the sum of the lengths of the other two sides is 2(x + 1), and the perimeter of the triangle is thus x + 2(x + 1), or 3x + 2.

Represent the side length of the square by x - 2.  Then the perimeter of the square is 2(x - 2) + 2(x - 2) = 4(x - 2) = 4x - 8, and this perimeter matches that of the triangle:

4x - 8 = 3x + 2, or

x = 10

The length of the shortest side of the triangle is 10 units.

Classify each characteristic according to whether it is true for an amoeba, a clock, or both.
Stells [14]

Answer:

Amoeba is a single celled eukaryotic organism, found in the water body. These organisms have a false feet called as pseudopodium. It helps in the locomotion and captures food from the external environment. The organism does not exhibit a well defined shape. It has organelles like nucleus and vacuoles surrounded by cytoplasm. The food being captured by psuedopodium is engulfed inside a vacuole. It reproduces by the process of asexual reproduction called as binary fission. The genetic material replicates by the mitotic division, then the cell divides into two equal daughter cells. The amoeba obtains energy from food, and it uses this energy to move, capture food and reproduce.

A clock is a non-living thing. That displays time. It has three needles or hands, the bigger hand displays hour, the small one displays minutes and the thin needle displays seconds. These hands or needles uses energy from a cell or battery.

Characteristics features of amoeba are as follows:

Uses energy

Has internal organization

Characteristics features of clock are as follows:

Uses energy

Contains cells

Lacks genetic material reproduces

Has a defined boundary

Has internal organization

Fill in the blanks. a. A​ relative-frequency distribution is to a variable as a​ __________ distribution is to a random variable
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a. A​ relative-frequency distribution is to a variable as a​ ___probability_______ distribution is to a random variable. b. A​ relative-frequency histogram is to a variable as a​ _____probability_____ histogram is to a random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is a type of mathematics which deals with numerical descriptions of how likely an event would occur, or how likely it is that a the occurrence would be true. The probability of an event is usually between 0 and 1,

where 0 represent impossibility and 1 represents the chance of it occurring.
