First focus on the parentheses. Distribute the 3 by multiplying by x and -4.
8 + 3(x-4) = 8 + 3x -12
Then, combine like terms (things with x, things without an x, the 8 and -12)
=3x - 4
Answer: y=55 x=6
Step-by-step explanation: Because of the two equivalent lines in lines DE and FE we know that the angles D and F must be equal, therefore y is 55. And now we know that angles D and F add up to 110 and because all of the angles in a triangle add up to 180, angle E must equal 70.
Angle E- (11x+4)=70
-4 -4
11x=66
divide both sides by 11
x=6
Answers:
- h = sqrt(55) centimeters
- area = 3*sqrt(55) square cm
Your teacher may want the numbers only, so you may have to leave off the units.
We have these approximations:
sqrt(55) = 7.416198
3*sqrt(55) = 22.248595

Explanation:
ABC is isosceles, meaning that the altitude (aka height) h cuts side BC into two equal pieces. BC = 6 cuts in half to 3.
Let's say point D is on BC and at the base of the altitude. In other words, D is at the midpoint. Triangle ABC is cut into two smaller triangles ABD and ADC.
Let's focus on triangle ADC, which is a right triangle. It has a horizontal side of DC = 3 and vertical side AD = h. The hypotenuse is AC = 8.
---------
Let
Apply the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
h^2 + 3^2 = 8^2
h^2 + 9 = 64
h^2 = 64-9
h^2 = 55
h = sqrt(55) ..... exact
h = 7.416198 ..... approximate
---------
Once we determine the height of triangle ABC, we can compute the area
base = BC = 6 cm
height = AD = h = sqrt(55) cm
area = 0.5*base*height
area = 0.5*6*sqrt(55)
area = 3*sqrt(55) .... exact
area = 22.248595 .... approximate
The units for the area are "square cm" or "cm^2".
Answer:
10 mm
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that the formula for a triangle is A= 1/2(b)(h)
Plug in 30mm for the area as shown and 6 for the base= 30=1/2(6)(h)
Solve= 30=3h
Divide each side by 3 to get h by itself. h=10 or b= 10
depends on which one is missing ^^
