How do I find the area of the isosceles triangle?

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find 'h'.

\sf a^2+b^2=c^2

For right triangles, where 'a' and 'b' are the two legs and 'c' is the hypotenuse.

Divide the base by 2 to find the base length of one of the right triangles. 32/2 = 16. Now apply the Pythagorean Theorem:

\sf 16^2+b^2=20^2

Simplify:

\sf 256+b^2=400

Subtract 256 to both sides:

\sf b^2=144

Take the square root of both sides:

\sf b = 12

So the height is 12cm. Apply the formula for the area of a triangle:

\sf A=\frac{1}{2}bh

\sf A=\frac{1}{2}(32)(12)

\sf A=192cm^2

Find the measure of C to the nearest degree.
Alisiya [41]

Let the ∠C be : θ

From the figure, We can see that the Side which is opposite to angle θ is measuring 7 units

Also, We can notice that Hypotenuse is 11 units

As we are dealing with opposite and hypotenuse, we can clearly use Sinθ to find out the angle θ

We know that :

\bigstar \ \ \boxed{\sf{Sin\theta = \dfrac{Opposite \ Side}{Hypotenuse}}}

\implies \sf{Sin\theta = \dfrac{7}{11}}

\implies \sf{\theta = Sin^{-1}\bigg(\dfrac{7}{11}\bigg)}

\implies \sf{\theta = 39.52^{\circ}}

<u>Answer</u> : The measure of ∠C to the nearest degree is 38°

F(x)=-x^2-5 find the range
lina2011 [118]

x =  \frac{ - b}{2a}  \\  =   \frac{0}{2(1)}  = 0 \\ f(0) = (0)^{2}  - 5 \\  = 0 - 5 =  - 5
The vertex is at (0,-5), therefore the range goes from (-infinity, - 5]
