A right triangle has an area 18 square inches.

The area of any triangle is A = (1/2) (base) (height).

If the right triangle is not sitting
on its hypotenuse, then one leg
is the base, and the other leg is
the height: A = (1/2) (base leg) (height leg) .

If the triangle is isosceles, then
the legs are equal: A = (1/2) (either leg)²

You said the area is 18 in²: 18 in² = (1/2) (leg²)

Multiply each side by 2 : 36 in² = leg²

Square root each side: 6 in = leg

Solve X^4=4^X assist by solving for value of x

Anton [14]

Answer:

x ∈ {−0.766664695962, 2, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is a combination of polynomial and exponential functions. There are no algebraic methods for solving such an equation. Graphical and iterative methods work nicely, though.

The attached graph shows integer solutions at x=2 and x=4. There is also an irrational negative solution near x = −0.766664695962. The latter was found by using Newton's method iteration on the graphical value of -0.767.
