Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If W is the midpoint of VX then VW = WX. Therefore we have the equation:

2x + 5 = 4x - 3 <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>

2x = 4x - 8 <em>subtract 4x from both sides</em>

-2x = -8 <em>divide both sides by (-2)</em>

x = 4

VX = VW + WX

VX = 2x + 5 + 4x - 3 = (2x + 4x) + (5 - 3) = 6x + 2

Put the value of x = 4 to 6x + 2:

VX = 6(4) + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26

The hypotenuse of a right triangle is 6 inches. if one of the legs is 2 inches, find the degree measure of each angle

miskamm [114]

A and b are the 2 smaller sides, and c = hypotenus; only for right triangles,
Pythagorean Theorem states that:
${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2}$
given c = 6 in., a = 2 in.
${c}^{2} = {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {6}^{2} = {2}^{2} + {b}^{2} \\ {b}^{2} = {6}^{2} - {2}^{2} = 36 - 4 \\ \sqrt{ {b}^{2} } = \sqrt{36 - 4} = \sqrt{32}$
$b = \sqrt{32} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{2} = 4 \sqrt{2} \\ b = 5.66 \: inches$
So the three side are 2, 6, and 5.66 inches
