Answer: the length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the right angle triangle ABC is shown in the attached photo

Looking at triangle ABC,

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse side

cos θ = 5/13 = 0.3846

θ = 67.38 degrees

The bisector of an angle divides it into two equal halves. The bisector is represented by line AD.

θ/2 = 67.38/2 = 33.69 degrees

Therefore,

Cos 33.69 = 5/AD

AD × Cos 33.69 = 5

AD = 5/Cos 33.69 = 5/0.832

AD = 6 ft

If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x? A triangle with base x + 2, height
Tju [1.3M]

Correct question :

If the perimeters of each shape are equal, which equation can be used to find the value of x? A triangle with base x + 2, height x, and side length x + 4. A rectangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x. (x + 4) + x + (x + 2) = one-half x + (x + 3) (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) 2 (x) + 2 (x + 2) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3) x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 2 (x + 3 and one-half)

Answer: (x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2 (one-half x) + 2 (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

A triangle with base x + 2, height x, and side length x + 4 - - - -

b = x + 2 ; a = x ; c = x + 4

Perimeter (P) of a triangle :

P = a + b + c

P =( x + 2) + x + (x + 4) - - - (1)

A rectangle with length of x + 3 and width of one-half x

l = x + 3 ; w = 1/2 x

Perimeter of a rectangle (P) = 2(l+w)

P = 2(x+3) + 2(1/2x)

If perimeter of each same are the same ; then;

(1) = (2)

(x + 2) + x + (x + 4) = 2(x+3) + 2(1/2x)
