Find the value of x in the isoscleles triangle sqrt45 and altitude 3​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alisiya [41]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

c.\hspace{3}x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Isosceles triangles are a type of triangles in which two of their sides have an identical length. It should be noted that the angles opposite the sides that are the same length are also the same. This means that these triangles not only have two equal sides, but also two equal angles.

You can solve this problem using different methods, I will use pythagorean theorem. First take a look at the picture I attached.  As you can see:

x=2a

And we can find a easily using pythagorean theorem:

(\sqrt{45} )^{2} =3^{2} +a^{2}

Solving for a:

a^{2} =(\sqrt{45} )^{2} -3^{2} \\\\a^{2} =45-9\\\\

a^{2} =36\\\\a=\sqrt{36} \\\\a=6

Therefore:

x=2a\\\\x=2(6)\\\\x=12

A basketball and a pump cost $31. If the basketball costs 3 times as much as the pump how much does each item cost?
postnew [5]
3 times 7.75 = 23.25 + 7.75 = 31.00
so the basketball is $23.25 and the pump is $7.75

How do I know which one is complementary?
RUDIKE [14]
Complementary angles are 90 degrees
Supplementary angles are 180 degrees.

you add two angles and they have to equal either 90 or 180 in order to be complementary or supplementary.

the answer is B because <SXT is 25 and <TXU is 65. when you add those two, the answer is 90.

State, with an​ explanation, whether the​ mean, median, or mode gives the best description of the following average.
harina [27]

Answer:

C. Mean

A. The distribution is probably symmetric with a single peak.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean measurement would give best description of the average number of car accidents people had in their lifetime. There are very less chances of skewed distribution because of the nature of the problem.

The data set in this case is not likely to have extreme variations thats why outliers wont be a problem. Therefore, mean measurement would be a better choice than median.

Example:

The typical data for this problem would look something like this.

2, 4, 4, 3, 5, 2, 1, 3

Mean= Sum of all elements/no. of elements

mean= (2+4+4+3+5+2+1+3)/8=24/8=4

What is the slope of the line in the graph? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (negative 2, negative 1) and (0, 1
dem82 [27]

Answer:

The slope is one.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the formula (y1-y2)/(x1-x2). Plugging in the points, it would be

(-1-1)/(-2-0) which simplifies to -2/-2, then just 1. You can also make a graph if you really aren't sure whether you did the problem right or make the full equation and plug the points in to make sure it checks out. :) Hope that helps?
