Given :
▪︎This triangle is an isosceles triangle.
▪︎Measure of one of its legs = 6 inches
▪︎Measure of its equivalent leg inches
▪︎Measure of its base inches
Which means :
Let us check whether or not we have found out the correct value of x by placing 54 in the place of x :
Since the Left Hand Side of the equation is equivalent to the Right Hand Side of the equation, we can conclude that we have found out the correct value of x.
▪︎Therefore, the value of <u>x = 54</u>
The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling once the mirror is hung on the wall is 21 inches
The dimension of the mirror is given as:
From the center of the mirror to the floor of the wall, the distance is:
So, the distance to the top of the mirror will be:
Substitute 24 for height
Convert feet to inches
The distance from the top of the mirror to the ceiling is the difference between the height of the wall and 75 inches.
So, we have:
Convert feet to inches
Hence, the distance is 21 inches
