Find the area of the isosceles triangle.

Mathematics
1 answer:
cricket20 [7]1 year ago
5 0

Check the picture below.

well, we know the triangle is an isosceles, so it has twin sides coming from the "vertex" down to the "base", running an angle bisector from the "vertex" will give us a perpendicular to the "base", let's find its height.

\textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+b^2\implies \sqrt{c^2 - a^2}=b \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{13}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{5}\\ b=\stackrel{opposite}{h}\\ \end{cases} \\\\\\ \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2}=h\implies 12=h

so we simply need to get the area of a triangle whose base is 10 and height is 12.

A=\cfrac{1}{2}(\underset{b}{10})(\underset{h}{12})\implies \boxed{A=60}

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

We know,

Area of triangle = 1/2 * b * h

= 1/2 * 2x * 3x

= 1/2 * 6x

= 3x

You toss five fair coins. The probability that all five coins land heads is​
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

1/32

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want to find the probability that all five coins land on heads, we must first find the total number of possibilities. Since there are 2 choices for each coin to land on, heads or tails, the total number of possibilities is 2^5 = 32.

Since there is only one way to to land on all heads, the probability is 1/32.
