In order for the triangle to be isosceles, we have to set two lengths of the triangle equal to each other.
Let's take the lengths 5x-12 and x+20 and set them equal to each other.
5x - 12 = x + 20
Combine like terms by moving them over to their respective sides.
Subtract x from both sides of the equation.
4x - 12 = 20
Add 12 to both sides of the equation.
4x = 32
Divide both sides by 4.
x = 8
Check your answer by substituting.
5x - 12 = x + 20
5(8) - 12 = 8 + 20
40 - 12 = 28
28 = 28
Solution: x = 8
To solve this problem,
we must recall that the formula for money with compound interest is calculated
as:
Total = Principal × (
1 + Rate ) ^ n
Total = $2,200 × ( 1 +
0.024 ) ^ 1
Total = $2,252.80

Answer:
x=17
The angles are Vertical.
Step-by-step explanation:
6x17 equals 102. Then subtract 12 from 102 to get 90 degrees.
6(17)-12=90 degrees
Answer:
y=70°
z= 60°
w= 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the two triangles are similar, we know that all of the corresponding angles must be the same. On the triangle on the left, we can see that the angle formed between sides AB and AC is 60°. This means that the same angle is formed at Z, which is in the same location on the triangle to the right. From there, we can find the missing angle, W, from the difference of 180°.
180°-50°-60°=70°.
The same way we found Z, we can also find Y, since it has to be the same as W.
