The question is incomplete, the complete question is here

Find the measures of the angles of an isosceles triangle whose equal sides measure 8 and whose altitude drawn to the base measures 4

Answer:

The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 30°, 30° and 120°

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle whose sides a, b, c and angles A, B and C, where a is opposite to ∠A, b is opposite to ∠B, and c is opposite to ∠C, the given is

  • a = c
  • m∠A = m∠C

The height from ∠B to side b is 4 units

That means the length of the height is half the length of each equal sides, then there is a right triangle its hypotenuse is 8 and the side opposite to the base angle is 4, so we can find the measure of the base angle by using the rule sin(base angle) = \frac{altitude}{a}

∵ The base angles are ∠A and ∠C

∵ a = c = 8

∵ The altitude to b is 4

∵ sin(A)=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

- By using  sin^{-1}

∴ m∠A = sin^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})

∴ m∠A = 30°

∵ m∠A = m∠C

∴ m∠C = 30°  

Use the rule of the sum of the measures of the interior angle of a Δ is 180° to find m∠B

∵ m∠A + m∠C + m∠B = 180

∵ m∠A = m∠C = 30° 

∴ 30° + 30° + m∠B = 180°

∴ 60 + m∠B = 180

- Subtract 60 from both sides

∴ m∠B = 120°

The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 30°, 30° and 120°

Find the product. (x-3)^2
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Greetings and Happy Holidays!

Find the Product:
(x-3)^2

Expand:

=(x-3)(x-3)

Use FOIL or other techniques to solve binomial multiplication:
=x(x-3)-3(x-3)

=x^2-3x-3(x-3)

=x^2-3x-3x+9

Combine like terms:
=x^2-6x+9

The Answer Is:
\boxed{=x^2-6x+9}

I hope this helped!
