Answer:
The length of each side is 26.3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Opposite sides of an isoceles triangle are equal
The isoceles triangle is divided into 2 right-angled triangles so the length of one side can be calculated using trigonometric ratio
When the isoceles triangle is divided, the angle in the right-angled triangle is 20° (1/2 of 40°) and the base is 9cm (1/2 of 18 cm), the hypotenuse side is calculated using trigonometric ratio
Let the length of the hypotenuse side be y
9/y = sin 20°
y = 9/0.3420 = 26.3
Length of each side is 26.3 cm
Answer:
x=6
Step-by-step explanation:
3(3x-8)=4x+6
First you would distribute the 3 on the L side to the parenthasies
9x-24=4x+6
Then, you would subtract 4x from both sides because it is the smallest X value
5x-24=6
Add 24 to both sides (inverse operations)
5x=30
divide both sides by 5
x=6
Using pythag a^2+b^2=16^2
16^2=256
and since a=b the equation is 2x^2=256
/ each side by 2
x^2=128
x=sq rt of 128=11.31 roughly
