Algebra.Com's Answer #481332 by stanbon(75887) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Triangle YPQ is isosceles with base PQ. If YQ=5y+6, QP=12y+1.2, and YP=10y-11, find the length of each of each side of triangle YPQ. \n" ); document.write( "--------- \n" ); document.write( "If PQ is the base the other two sides must be equal:: \n" ); document.write( "Equation: \n" ); document.write( "5y+6 = 10y-11 \n" ); document.write( "----- \n" ); document.write( "5y = 17 \n" ); document.write( "y = 17/5 \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "YQ = 5y+6 = 5(17/5)+6 = 23 \n" ); document.write( "QP = 12y+1.2 = 12(17/5)+1.2 = 40.8+1.2 = 50 \n" ); document.write( "YP = 10y-11 = 10(17/5)-11 = 23 \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( "===================== \n" ); document.write( " |
