An isosceles triangle has a base whose length is 14 centimeters and whose base angle each measure 68

Answer:

I guess you want to find the lenght of the sides and the other angle, so let's do that:

We know that the base has a length of 14 cm.

The two base angles are 68°

First, we can find the other angle knowing that the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180°.

2*68° + X = 180°

X = 180° - 2*68° = 44°

Now let's find the length of the sides (that is the same for both sides, as we have an isosceles triangle.

For this we can draw a line for the middle of the base that goes through the top vertex, creating in this way a triangle rectangle.

We know that one of the cathetus will have half of the length of the base, this is 7cm.

the adjacent angle to this cathetus is 68°, now we want to find the hypotenuse of this triangle, we can use the relation:

Cos(A) = adjacent cathetus/hypotenuse:

Cos(68°) = 7cm/H

H = 7cm/cos(68) = 18.7cm

this hypotenuse is equal to the side length of our isosceles triangle, so now we have it fully determined.

Use the Distributive Property to solve the equation.
sammy [17]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distributive Property

(Do what's in the parenthesis first)

4x - 2x + 6 = -4 + 5x - 5

2. Combine Like Terms

2x + 6 = -9 + 5x

3. Take away 6 on both sides

2x + 6 - 6 = -9 - 6 +5x

It will give u.....

2x = -15 + 5x

4. Subtract 5x on both sides

2x - 5x = -15

It will give u.....

-3x = -15

5. Divide by -3 on both sides to isolate the variable

-3x / 3 = -15/-3

Now you get....

x = 5

2 negatives make a positive

Thats ur answer

Hope this helped!

A gem is cut in a kite shape. It is 6.2 millimeters wide at its widest point & 5 millimeters long. What is the area?
arlik [135]

Answer: 15.5\ mm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the area of a kite with the following formula:

A=\frac{d_1d_2 }{2}

Where d_1 is the length of a diagonal and d_2 is the length of the other diagonal.

In this case, you can identify that:

d_1=6.2\ mm\\d_2=5\ mm

Therefore, the final step is to substitute the values into the formula.

Then, the area is:

 A=\frac{(6.2\ mm)(5\ mm)}{2}\\\\A=15.5\ mm^2
