Tara has 1 3/5 yards of fabric. She needs

2 1/2

times this amount to make a shopping bag. How much fabric does Tara need to make the bag?

amount of fabric to make the bag = 4 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Tara has 1 3/5 yards of fabric . She needs extra 2 1/2 times the amount she have to make a shopping bag. The amount of fabric she needs to make the bag can be calculated as follows.

1 3/5 yards = 8/5 yards of fabrics

What she actually needs to make a shopping bag is two and half the amount she has . Mathematically, it can be express

2 1/2 × 8/5

Let us change 2 1/2 to improper fraction

amount of fabric to make the bag = 5/2 × 8/5

amount of fabric to make the bag = 40/10

amount of fabric to make the bag = 4 yards

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
