How do you find x in this question?

Mathematics
1 answer:
ivanzaharov [21]1 year ago
7 0

Answer:

  x = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The relevant relations are ...

  • base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent
  • consecutive interior angles where parallel lines meet a transversal are supplementary

__

Triangle OBQ is isosceles, so angle OQB = 40°. Triangle OPQ is isosceles, so angle OQP is x. The sum of angles OQB and OQP is angle BQP, which is supplementary to angle OPQ. That is, ...

  (40° +x) +x = 180°

  2x = 140° . . . . . . subtract 40°

  x = 70° . . . . . . divide by 2

_____

There are many ways to find x. The one shown here is just one of them. In general, right triangles, isosceles triangles, symmetry, inscribed angles can all be used to write relations involving the known angles and x.

Answer: 25/36

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply:

2/3 * 10/24 = 20/72 = 5/18

-3 1/8 * -4/5 = 5/2

5/18 * 5/2 = 25/36

A square is cut in half on the diagonal creating two equal triangles each triangle has an area of 0.72 square units what is the
Katyanochek1 [597]

In a square all 4 sides are equal, so when you cut it along the diagonal to make a triangle, both the base and the height of the triangle would be the same.


The area of a triangle is found by the formula 1/2 x base x height

Since the base and height are the same the formula becomes Area = 1/2 x S^2 ( where S is the length of a side).

The area is given as 0.72 square units.

Now you have 0.72 = 1/2 x S^2

First multiply both sides by 2:

1.44 = S^2

To find S, take the square root of both sides:

S = √1.44

S = 1.2

The side length is 1.2 units.

The graph of a quadratic function f(x) intersects the x-axis At -3 and 5. Create a function that would produce these results.
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

f(x) = x² - 2x - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The function intersect x-axis at -3 and 5

∴ f(x) = 0 at x = -3 , 5

∵ The form of the quadratic equation is ⇒ ax² + -b/a x + c/a = 0

                                                                       ax² - b/a x + c/a = 0

Where the sum of its roots is b/a and their multiplication is c/a

∵ a = 1

∵ -3 , 5 are the roots of the quadratic equation

∴ b = -3 + 5 = 2

∴ c = -3 × 5 = -15

∴ f(x) = x² - 2x - 15
