Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nat2105 [25]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 8√5

Step-by-step explanation:

The large triangle is divided into two smaller ones.  The right one has one leg of length 8, one leg of length x/2, and hypotenuse of length √80.

Appling the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find x:

8² + (x/2)² = (√80)²,

or:                              x^2

64 + x^2/4 = 80, or  ------- = 80

                                    4

Then x^2 = 320 = 64*5.  Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x = 8√5

Not sure how to do this. (I'm aware this is wrong lol)
Bezzdna [24]
I think the answer is 80 degrees. Think about it like you're moving the chunk with 100 degrees already filled in, to the space where you're trying to find the amount since they're the same. Vertical angles are supplementary and are equal to 180. So, 100+x = 180. x would equal 80 degrees.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

  True

Step-by-step explanation:

It is the sum of numbers having a common difference. The fact that it is a sum makes it a series (as opposed to a sequence, which is just a list of numbers). The common difference (of 2.5) makes it an arithmetic series.

True, the sum is an arithmetic series.
