Answer:

12 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent sides which are legs(2 sides having same length )If x is length of each leg, then we ca write the equation like this

equation: x+x+8=32

combine like terms

2x +8 = 32

minus 8 from each side

2x=32-8

2x=24

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 24/2

x=12 centimeters

What is the equation of the circle with center (0, 0) that passes through the point (5, -4)?

Katyanochek1 [597]

The standard form of a circle is $(x-h) ^{2} +(y-k) ^{2} = r^{2}$ where h and k are the center and x and y are the coordinates you're given. We need to solve for the radius to finish this off correctly. Filling in, we have $(5-0) ^{2} +(-4-0) ^{2} = r^{2}$ and $25+16= r^{2}$ , giving us that $r^{2}=41$ . Therefore, our equation is $x^{2} + y^{2} =41$
