Answer:

AC = 30 units

Step-by-step explanation:

if AB = BC, then this is an isosceles triangle.

further BX intersects the base (AC) of the isosceles triangle at a right angle.

This means that the line of symmetry BX divides triangle ABC into two congruent triangles where AX = CX.

hence AC is

AX + CX

= CX + CX

= 15 + 15

= 30 units

$\boxed{\sf sin\Theta=\dfrac{P}{H}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\Theta=\dfrac{16}{26}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\Theta=\dfrac{8}{13}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\Theta=0.5$

Convert to p/q form

$\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\Theta=\dfrac{5}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\Theta=\dfrac{1}{2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto sin\Theta=sin30$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \Theta\approx30°$

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is

28/8 = 7/2

We take the ratio of the larger side over the smaller side

Using ratios we can find the sides

28 21

----- = ---------

8 x

Using cross products

28x = 21*8

28x =168

Divide each side by 28

28x/28 = 168/28

x =6
