An isosceles triangle is a type of triangle where 2 sides are equal.

Picture out 2 triangles with the same base length.
On the first triangle, its legs are twice the length of the legs of the second triangle.

To put it into variables, let:
B = the same base length of the two triangles
A = the length of one leg the smaller triangle
2A = the length of one leg of the bigger triangle

Given: Perimeter of smaller triangle = 23cm
Perimeter of bigger triangle = 43cm

Recall the formula for solving the perimeter of a triangle:
Perimeter = A + B + C

where, A, B, and C are the legs of the triangle

Since the triangle involved is an isosceles triangle, therefore, we can say that
Perimeter = 2A + B , 2 legs are equal ( A=C )

Substituting the given perimeter value to the formula.

23cm = 2A + B ⇒ equation 1 (smaller triangle)
43cm = 2(2A) + B ⇒ equation 2 (bigger triangle)

Simplifying equation 2.
43cm = 4A + B
(rearranging) B = 43cm - 4A ⇒ equation 3

Substituting equation 3 to equation 1:
(equation 1) 23cm = 2A + B
23cm = 2A + (43cm - 4A)
23cm = -2A + 43cm
2A = 43cm - 23cm
2A = 20cm ⇒ length of the leg of the bigger triangle
A = 10cm ⇒ length of the leg of the smaller triangle

To solve for the base length, just substitute the value of A to equation 3
(equation 3) B = 43cm - 4A
B = 43cm - 4(10cm)
B = 3 cm

Final

• For the smaller triangle, the length of the sides are 10cm, 10cm, and 3cm
• For the bigger triangle, the length of the sides are 20cm, 20cm, and 3cm

Answer from: Quest

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is $3\times 8.50=$25.5$

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is $2\times 27.50=$55$

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98

answer: a. 13/44

step-by-step explanation: judging by the information given to us, we are looking for experimental probability. we can see that 13 males have chosen chocolate ice cream. there are 44 ice creams in total (remember that the total is always the denominator). so our answer is 13/44.
