Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Other than using the plain special aspect of a 45-45-90 triangle where the legs are x, x, and x√2, you can solve for this.

Since the two legs have equal length, they are both x. Using the pythagorean theorem:

(x^2)+(x^2)=50 (Because 5 squared is 25 and √2 squared is 2, multiplying them gives you 50).

You can add (x^2) and (x^2) because they are the same terms (x squared).

Simplifying like so gives you:

2x^2=50

Dividing by two on both sides:

x^2=25

Taking the square root of both sides:

x=5

Is figure B a scaled copy of figure A
artcher [175]

No

We know scale factor(k)=y/x

Calculate units as 1 and find k

For left side

\\ \sf\longmapsto k=\dfrac{5}{3}

  • For base

\\ \sf\longmapsto k=\dfrac{4}{4}=1

Hence its not a copy

PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK THE BRAINLIEST
-BARSIC- [3]

Given: lines l and m are parallel, and line t is a transversal.

angle pair result/justification

1 and 2 are equal (vertical angles)

6 and 8 are equal (corresponding angles)

1 and 4 are equal (alternate exterior angles)

4 and 8 are supplementary angles (i.e. add up to 180 degrees, a straight angle)

Note:

alternate angles are on opposite sides of the transversal, and each attached to a different (parallel) line.

If they are both enclosed by the parallel lines, they are alternate interior angles (examples: angles 2 and 3, 6 and 7)

If they are both outside of the two parallel lines, they are alternate exterior angles (examples: angles 1 and 4, 5 and 8)
