<span>If this is an isosceles triangle, then it has two 45 degree angles corresponding to two legs of equal length.  Orient the base of this triangle so that it's horizontal, and represent its length by b.  Let h represent the height of the triangle.  Then the area of this right triangle is 50 square inches = (1/2)(b)(h), or A = (b/2)h = 50 in^2.   

Due to the 45 degree angles, the height of this triangle is equal to half the base, or h = b/2.  Thus, (b/2)h = 50 becomes (b/2)(b/2) = 50, or b^2=200. Thus, b = 10sqrt(2), and h=(1/2)(10 sqrt(2)), or h = 5sqrt(2).

The length of one of the legs is the sqrt of  [5sqrt(2)]^2+[5sqrt(2)]^2, or

sqrt(25(2)+25(2)) = sqrt(100) = 10.

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  A = 282.6 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

height = 9 in

radius = 5 in

Formula

                A = 2πrh

Process

               A = 2(3.14)(5)(9)

               A = 282.6 in²

The average value of y=v(x) equals 4 for 1≤x≤6, and equals 5 for 6≤x≤8. what is the average value of v(x) for 1≤x≤8 ?
Tomtit [17]
The average value over the interval is the area under the curve divided by the width of the interval.

Area = 4*(6 -1) +5(8 -6) = 30
Width = 8 - 1 = 7

Average value = 30/7 = 4 2/7
