Replace a and b in the equation with their values given:

-0.5(7(-6)-12(-10)-(8.4(-10)-14(-6))

Multiply within the parentheses

-0.5(-42 + 120) -(-84 + 84)

Add inside the parenthesis:

-0.5(78)-0

Multiply:

-.05 x 78 = -39

The answer is -39

Suppose you have an isosceles triangle with a 90° angleIf the congruent sides each measure 9 feet, what is the length of the sid

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

$9\sqrt{2}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the attached figure.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle in which two sides are equal.

$AB=BC=9$ feet

According to Pythagoras theorem,

square of hypotenuse is equal to sum of squares of other two sides.

$AC^2=AB^2+BC^2\\AC^2=9^2+9^2\\AC^2=81+81\\AC^2=162\\AC=\sqrt{162}$

$AC=9\sqrt{2}$ feet
