The median to the long side divides the isosceles triangle into two right triangles with hypotenuse 10 and short leg 6. Thus the long leg (median of interest) is found by the Pythagorean theorem to be
... √(10² -6²) = √64 = 8
Then the midpoint of the short side is found to be 6 + (6/2) = 9 units to the side and 8/2 = 4 units above the opposite vertex. Hence the square of the length of that median is 9² + 4² = 97.
The sum of squares of interest is
... 8² + 2×97 = 258
Using algebraic expressions, the value of x in the diagram given is calculated as: x = 4
<h3>What is an Algebraic Equation?</h3>
An algebraic equation is an equation that has an unknown variable (i.e. x) and digits, which can be used to solve a problem.
Algebraic expression for Mat A is: 4x + 3
Algebraic expression for Mat B is: 2x + 11
We would have the following algebraic equation:
4x + 3 = 2x = 11
Solve for the value of x
4x - 2x = 11 - 3
2x = 8
x = 8/2
x = 4
