The third side of the triangle is 26.

Explanation:

Given:

Two sides of the isosceles triangle are 26 and 10.

To Find:

The possible value of the third side

Solution:

Definition of Isosceles triangle:

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides. Isosceles triangle has both two equal sides and two equal angles.

We also know the property of the triangle that

Sum of two sides of triangle > third side of the triangle

Case1. When third side is 10

Thee third side can’t be equal to 10 because it does not follow the rule of triangle

10+10>26………which is not possible

So the third side of the isosceles triangle is 26.

I need help with this math problem

klemol [59]

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The right angle is formed at at the tangent line and the radius

So to solve for the missing angle we can solve for x using the Pythagorean Theorem

The Pythagorean theorem states that the sum of the two legs squared equal the hypotenuse squared

Knowing this we can create an equation to solve for x

$12^2+9^2=x^2$

now we solve for x

$12^2=144\\9^2=81\\81+144=225\\225=x^2\\\sqrt{225} =15\\\sqrt{x^2} =x\\x=15$

So we can conclude that x = 15

If the measure of each exterior angle of a regular polygon is 18°, determine how many sides the polygon has.

Sveta_85 [38]

we are given

exterior angle is 18

so,

$\theta=18$

now, we can use formula

number of sides of regular polygon = 360/(exterior angle)

so, we get

$n=\frac{360}{18}$

$n=20$

so, number sides is 20..........Answer

Calculate the length of the circumference of a circle with diameter of 7cm

Bad White [126]

The circumference of the circle is given by the equation C = pi * D. Incorporating the length of the diameter into the equation, we have,

C = pi * D

C = pi * 7cm

C = 21.99 cm

The price of the product decreased by 10%and then decreased by 20% . calculate total percentage change between the final and ini

aev [14]

What is percentage change?

By quantifying the difference between two numbers and expressing it as an increase or decrease, the Percentage Change Calculator (percent change calculator) may determine the percentage change.

The initial price $V_{1}$ (100%) was decreased by 10%., then this reduced price is reduced more by 20% that becomes the final price $V_{2}$ which is 72.
