In an isosceles triangle whose perimeter is 54 centimeters, the base is x centimeters and the measure of each leg is y centimeters. a. Write an equation that expresses the relationship between x and y. b. Find two ordered pairs in the solution set of the equation that you wrote in part A.
|dw:1317086125001:dw|
x+y+y= 54 x+2y= 54
is that the answer for part A or part B
no the above anwer is onlt for your question A
so what the answer for question B?
Question B, i have no idea. sorry ..
oh okay..
by the way. For part A , am i supposed to divide?
i am trying for anwer, if i got i will let u know.. okk?
yes sure.
y u think to ivide??
because you can divide 54 by 2
here we cant divide. Becase that is not 2, it is " 2y.". it is a variable
ooohh okay :)
oky
(10,22) solve the equation
(10,22 ) is answer for part B
let substitute the above values in place of x and y , then you will get 10-2*22= 54 ie(10, 22) pair solve the equation
Your question is for 2 ordered pairs, so answers are (10,22) and ( 6, 24)
hope you understand..
