Using an Equation with Two Variables to Solve a problem

This isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a,
that are longer than the length of the base, b. The
perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 centimeters. The
equation 2e +b-15.7 can be used to find the side lengths.
If one of the longer sides is 6.3 centimeters, what is the
length of the base?
cm
b b
is Activity

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question has typographical errors. The equation is 2a + b = 15.7, not 2e+b-15.7

2a + b = 15.7

b = 15.7  - 2a

since a > b, a = 6.3 cm

b = 15.7 - 2·6.3 = 3.1 cm

answer: a. 74

step-by-step explanation:

it shows divided evenly, so add the 37+37 = 74

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:   x^2 + y^2 = 1024

discussion:

the equation of a circle with center (h,k) and radius "r" is

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.

in our case

(x-0)^2 + (y-0) ^2 = 32^2 = 1024

you,
