Draw a picture : the legs of an isosceles triangle are 15 units long and the altitude to the base is 8 units long find the length of the base

25.38 units to the nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude line bisects the base so we have  2 right angled triangles with hypotenuse 15 and  legs x and 8 units.

x^2 = 15^2 - 8^2  ( by Pythagoras).

x^2 =  161

x = √161

= 12.689 units.

So the base = 2 * 12.689

= 25.38 units.

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.
