There is an isosceles triangle.

The triangle is like two right triangles put together.

To find out the height of the triangle, we remove the other right triangle and we use the other triangle to find the height using the Pythagorean theorem.

Phytagoras Theorem :

b² = c² - a²

x² = 8² - (6÷2)²

x² = 64 - 3²

x² = 64 - 9

x² = 55

x = √55

So, the value of x is √55 (B)

Hope it helpful and useful :)

Find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points A = (-5, 7) and B = (-1, -5).

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

M = (-3,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the midpoint M of the line segment joining the points

A = (-5,7) and B = (-1, -5)

The mid point of the line segment joining the points (x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) is given by :

$M=(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2})\\\\M=(\dfrac{-5+(-1)}{2},\dfrac{7+(-5)}{2})\\\\M=(-3,1)$

Hence, the required point is (-3,1).

More on Areas. Farmer Jones, and his wife, Dr. Jones, both mathematicians, decide to build a fence in their field to keep the sh

Olin [163]

Answer:

Area covered by the fences will be 16.1 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first parabola is represented by the function f(x) = 6x²

and second parabola by g(x) = x² + 9

point of intersection of the graphs will be determined when f(x) = g(x)

6x² = x² + 9

5x² = 9

x² = 1.8

x = ± 1.34

Now we will find the area between these curves drawn on the graph.

Area = $\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[f(x)-g(x)]dx=\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[6x^{2}-(x^{2}+9)]dx$

= $\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}(5x^{2}-9)dx$

= $[\frac{5}{3}x^{3}-9x]_{-1.34}^{1.34}$

= $[\frac{5}{3}(-1.34)^{3}-9(-1.34)-\frac{5}{3}(1.34)^{3}+9(1.34)]$

= $[-4.01+12.06-4.01+12.06]$

= 16.1 unit²

What's the slope and y-intercept of the equation 3x + 4y = 8?

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Slope = -3/4

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$3x+4y = 8\\\therefore 4y = -3x +8\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+ \frac{8}{4}\\\therefore y = \frac{-3}{4}x+2\\Equating \: it \: with\: \\y=mx+b\\Slope\:(m) = \frac{-3}{4}\\y-intercept\:(b) = 2$

10% trimmed mean please hurry

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The 10% trimmed mean is the mean computed by excluding the 10% largest and 10% smallest values from the sample and taking the arithmetic mean of the remaining 80% of the sample (other trimmed means are possible: 5%, 20%,, etc.) Example Consider the data (sample)

mezya [45]

Step-by-step explanation:

a)82km into miles

Sol'n

Here,

km=82=82000miles

m=?

Now,

Miles =km×1000

=82×1000

=82000
