If the hypotenyse of an isosceles triangle is 8 inches, is there enough information to find the length of the legs? If yes, find
OLga [1]

Answer: 5..6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse of isosceles triangle is 8 inches

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal

Suppose the other side is x

Using Pythagoras we can write

\Rightarrow x^2+x^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=64\\\Rightarrow x^2=32\\\Rightarrow x=4\sqrt{2}\approx 5.6\ in.

Therefore, the lengths of the legs is 5.6 inches

If the equation y² - (K-<br>2y + 2k +1 = 0<br>with equal roots find the value of k​
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

y² - (K-  2)y + 2k +1 = 0

equal roots means D=0

D= b^2 - 4ac

a=1, b= (k-2), c= 2k+1

so,

(k-2)^2 - 4(1)(2k+1) = 0

=> k^2 +4 - 8k -4 = 0

=> k^2 -8k = 0

=> k^2 = 8k

=> k= 8k/k

=> k = 8

Therefore the answer is k= 8

Hope it helps........

Solve x2+4x=1 by Completing the square
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

  x = -2 ±√5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to complete the square by adding the square of half the coefficient of the linear term:

  x^2 + 4x + (4/2)^2 = 1 + (4/2)^2

  (x +2)^2 = 5 . . . . . simplify

  x +2 = ±√5 . . . . . . take the square root

  x = -2 ±√5 . . . . . . subtract 2. This is the solution.

__

For the problem in the picture, replace x with p in the above.
