Answer:

x = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triangle which means that 2 angles are the same and all the angles have to equal 180.

A - 60+60+50 = 170(not 180)

50+50+60 = 160(not 180)

A is eliminated.

B is eliminated because then it will be an equilateral triangle.

C - 130+130+50 = 310(not 180)

50+50+130 = 230(not 180)

C is eliminated which leaves D.

D = 65+65+50 = 180(TRIANGLE!!!!!!!!!!)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle has 2 congruent sides then the triangle is isosceles and the base angles are congruent, thus

x = $\frac{180-50}{2}$ = $\frac{130}{2}$ = 65 → D

A triangular pyramid has a surface area of 174 square feet. It is made up of equilateral triangles with side lengths of 10 feet.

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Slant height = 7.07 ft to nearest hundredth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height = height of one of the triangular sides

Using Pythagoras:

S^2 = 1/2 * 10^2 + 10^2 = 50 ft.

S = √50 = 7.071

Given the position of the particle, what the position(s) of the particle when it’s at rest

choli [55]

The position function of a particle is given by:

$X\mleft(t\mright)=\frac{2}{3}t^3-\frac{9}{2}t^2-18t$

The velocity function is the derivative of the position:

$\begin{gathered} V(t)=\frac{2}{3}(3t^2)-\frac{9}{2}(2t)-18 \\ \text{Simplifying:} \\ V(t)=2t^2-9t-18 \end{gathered}$

The particle will be at rest when the velocity is 0, thus we solve the equation:

$2t^2-9t-18=0$

The coefficients of this equation are: a = 2, b = -9, c = -18

Solve by using the formula:

$t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Substituting:

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81-4(2)(-18)}}{2(2)} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{81+144}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm\sqrt[]{225}}{4} \\ t=\frac{9\pm15}{4} \end{gathered}$

We have two possible answers:

$\begin{gathered} t=\frac{9+15}{4}=6 \\ t=\frac{9-15}{4}=-\frac{3}{2} \end{gathered}$

We only accept the positive answer because the time cannot be negative.

Now calculate the position for t = 6:

$undefined$

write the equation of the line, with the given properties, in slope-intercept form. slope = -5, through (-4,4)

Daniel [21]

Answer: y=-5x-16

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the slope and the point, we can plug in the point to solve for y-intercept.

4=-5(-4)+b [multiply]

4=20+b [subtract both sides by 20]

b=-16

Now, we know the equation is y=-5x-16.
