By the Pythagoras theorem:-

h^2  = x^2 + x^2  
    (where h = hypotenuse)

h^2 = 2x^2

h = sqrt2 x

The  area of triangle formed by points of intersection of parabola y=a(x+5)(x−1) with the coordinate axes is 12. Find a if it is
Pie

We know that the points at which the parabola intersects the x axis are

(-5,0) and (1,0)

So the extent between these two points would be the base of the triangle

lets find the length of the base using the distance formula

\sqrt{[(-5-1)^{2}+(0-0)^{2} ]}

the base b=6

We will get the height of the triangle when we put x=0 in the equation

y=a(0+5)(0-1)

y=-5a

so height = -5a (we take +5a since it is the height)

We know that the area of the triangle =

\frac{1}{2} × 6 × (5a) = 12

15a=12

a= \frac{4}{5}

Simplify <br><br> -2i sq.root -12
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

= 4sqrt3

Step-by-step explanation:

-2i sqrt -12

= -2i * i sqrt12 <-- i^2 = -1

= -2i^2sqrt12

= -2(-1)sqrt12

= 2sqrt12

= 2 * 2 sqrt3

= 4sqrt3

Find the measures of the four numbered angles
Genrish500 [490]
First, find out x
x+15+2x+15=180
3x+30=180
3x=150
x=50
so the two angels are x+15=65(let's name is ∠5 for convenience), and ∠6= 2x+15=115
notice the two inner lines are marked as congruent, so 
∠4=∠5=65
∠1=180-∠4-∠5=180-65-65=50
Name the right bottom angle ∠7, ∠3=∠7 and ∠3+∠7=the exterior angle 100 degree, therefore, ∠3=50
∠2+∠3=∠4, therefore, ∠2=∠4-∠3=65-50=15
∠1=50, ∠2=15, ∠3=50, ∠4=65
