Answer:

the area of the triangle is 17.4cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Finding the area of a triangle

an isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.

therefore to get the base of the triangle :

we need to subtract the lengths from he perimeter

30-12-12

= 6

<u>the base of the triangle is 6 cm</u>

<u></u>

<h3><u>area of a triangle</u></h3>

formula :

\frac{1}{2} * base * height\\

<h3><u>getting the height of the triangle:</u></h3>

we make use of one side of the triangle , half the base. this creates a right angled triangle

we can make use of the formula

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}

were c is the hypotenuse of 12 cm

a is the adjacent of base (6/2) = 3 cm

and b is the height

12^{2} = 3^{2} +b^{2}

b^{2} = 12^{2} - 3^{2}

b^{2} = 135\\

b = \sqrt{135}

b = 11.6 cm to 3sf

<u>the height is 11.6cm.</u>

<u></u>

<em>area of the triangle is :</em>

1/2 * 3 * 11.6

<u>= 17.4 cm^2</u>

<u />

<u>the area of the triangle is 17.4cm^2</u>

Negation of all owls fly?
Reptile [31]
Looking at this in terms of sets, let's call O the set of all owls, and F the set of all things that can fly. What this original statement is saying every animal that's a member of the set of all owls is also a member of the set of all things that can fly, or in other words, O⊂F (O is a subset of F). Negating this tells us that, while there's <em>at least one</em> element of O that also belongs to F, O is not contained entirely in F (O⊆F, in notation), so a good negation or our original statement might be:

<em>Not all owls can fly.</em>

What is the simplest form of 4 square root 81x^8y^5?
olasank [31]
Firstly,
thanks for posting this.

81 = 9x9 or 9 squared so at this stage I'm guessing the last two. 
x^ 8 = (x^ 4) x (x^ 2) (its called the multiplication rule of indices). 
Okay I have approx 14 mins to answer.
No panic
√ 81.x^8 x <span>√ y^5
</span>√ (9x^2 x 9x^6) x <span>√ y^5
</span>= 9x x <span>√ 9x^6 x  </span><span>√ y^5
</span>did I just gain time?
√ 9x^6 = <span>√ </span>3x ^3 x <span>√ 3x ^ 3
</span>or 2 . √ 3x^3. <span>√ y^5
</span>more time
okay, so that wasnt successful. 
√ 9x^6 =<span>√ </span> (3x^2) x <span>√ </span>(3x^4)
