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}

In a shipment of 56 vials, only 13 do not have hairline cracks. If you randomly select 3 vials from the shipment, in how many wa
Elden [556K]

Answer: 27434

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Total number of vials = 56

Number of vials that do not have hairline cracks = 13

Then, Number of vials that have hairline cracks =56-13=43

Since , order of selection is not mattering here , so we combinations to find the number of ways.

The number of combinations of m thing r things at a time is given by :-

^nC_r=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now, the number of ways to select at least one out of 3 vials have a hairline crack will be :-

^{13}C_2\cdot ^{43}C_{1}+^{13}C_{1}\cdot ^{43}C_{2}+^{13}C_0\cdot ^{43}C_{3}\\\\=\dfrac{13!}{2!(13-2)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{1!(42)!}+\dfrac{13!}{1!(12)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{2!(41)!}+\dfrac{13!}{0!(13)!}\cdot\dfrac{43!}{3!(40)!}\\\\=\dfrac{13\times12\times11!}{2\times11!}\cdot (43)+(13)\cdot\dfrac{43\times42\times41!}{2\times41!}+(1)\dfrac{43\times42\times41\times40!}{6\times40!}\\\\=3354+11739+12341=27434

Hence, the required number of ways =27434

(e+3)(e-5) expanded and simplified
Zarrin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

(e + 3)(e - 5) \\ e \times e + e \times  ( - 5) + e \times e + e \times 3 \\  { e}^{2}  + ( - 5e) +  {e}^{2}  + 3e \\  {2e}^{2}  + ( - 2e)

In this type of math equation, you have to multiply all members from the first part with the second part.

Expanded:

e \times e+e \times (-5)+e \times e+e \times 3

simplified:

{2e}^{2}  + ( - 2e)
