calculate the length of the legs of an isosceles triangle. The base is less than the other congruent legs by two units. The perimeter of the triangle is 22 meter .

Sides = 8 each and base = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let congruent legs = x, then the base is x - 2 so,

P = x + x + (x - 2)

22 = 3x - 2

24 = 3x

8 = x (sides)

base = 8 - 2 = 6

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
