One side of an isosceles triangle whose perimeter is 42 units measures 10 units. FInd the area of the triangle.

1 answer:

6 0

The area of the triangle is 75.99 units squared or approximately 76 units squared.

An Isosceles Triangle is a triangle with two congruent sides and two congruent angles. One side of the triangle measures 10 units, which is the base. The other two sides measures 16 units. The perimeter of the triangle is 10 + 16 + 16 = 42 units.

To get the area of a triangle, we use the formula
$A = \frac{1}{2} bh$

The height or altitude of the triangle can be calculated from Pythagorean theorem, which is equal to $\sqrt{231}$ units.

Substituting values into the formula for the area of a triangle, we get
$A = \frac{1}{2} (10)( \sqrt{231} ) \\ A =75.99 units squared \\$

The answer can be rounded of into 76 units squared.

Can you help me with my homework please

#4(a)

row-seat: 3- 13, 4-15, 5-17, 6-19, 7-21

(b)

the equation works for row 1 but not for any of the rows after this

Ex: Row 2, S=7(2)+2, this would equal 14 but there isn't 14 seats in row #2

(c)

S=2(1)+7, there is 9 seats in row 1

2(2)+7=11, there is 11 seats in row 2

2(3)+7= 13, there is 13 seats in row 3

(d)

2(15)+7=37

2*15=30, 30+7=37

(e)

91=2(r)+7

91-7=2(r)+7-7

84=2(r)

84/2=2(r)/2

42=r, the row with 91 seats is row 42

find the centre and radius of the following Cycles 9 x square + 9 y square +27 x + 12 y + 19 equals 0

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

Radius: $r =\frac{\sqrt {21}}{6}$

$Center = (-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{2}{3})$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$9x^2 + 9y^2 + 27x + 12y + 19 = 0$

Solving (a): The radius of the circle

First, we express the equation as:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where

$r = radius$

$(h,k) =center$

So, we have:

$9x^2 + 9y^2 + 27x + 12y + 19 = 0$

Divide through by 9

$x^2 + y^2 + 3x + \frac{12}{9}y + \frac{19}{9} = 0$

Rewrite as:

$x^2 + 3x + y^2+ \frac{12}{9}y =- \frac{19}{9}$

Group the expression into 2

$[x^2 + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{12}{9}y] =- \frac{19}{9}$

$[x^2 + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}$

Next, we complete the square on each group.

For $[x^2 + 3x]$

1: Divide the $coefficient\ of\ x\ by\ 2$

2: Take the $square\ of\ the\ division$

3: Add this $square\ to\ both\ sides\ of\ the\ equation.$

So, we have:

$[x^2 + 3x] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}$

$[x^2 + 3x + (\frac{3}{2})^2] + [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2$

Factorize

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2$

Apply the same to y

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y^2+ \frac{4}{3}y +(\frac{4}{6})^2 ] =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2 +(\frac{4}{6})^2$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =- \frac{19}{9}+ (\frac{3}{2})^2 +(\frac{4}{6})^2$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =- \frac{19}{9}+ \frac{9}{4} +\frac{16}{36}$

Add the fractions

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{-19 * 4 + 9 * 9 + 16 * 1}{36}$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{21}{36}$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{4}{6}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{2}{3}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

Recall that:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

By comparison:

$r^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

Take square roots of both sides

$r =\sqrt{\frac{7}{12}}$

Split

$r =\frac{\sqrt 7}{\sqrt 12}$

Rationalize

$r =\frac{\sqrt 7*\sqrt 12}{\sqrt 12*\sqrt 12}$

$r =\frac{\sqrt {84}}{12}$

$r =\frac{\sqrt {4*21}}{12}$

$r =\frac{2\sqrt {21}}{12}$

$r =\frac{\sqrt {21}}{6}$

Solving (b): The center

Recall that:

$(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$

Where

$r = radius$

$(h,k) =center$

From:

$[x + \frac{3}{2}]^2+ [y +\frac{2}{3}]^2 =\frac{7}{12}$

$-h = \frac{3}{2}$ and $-k = \frac{2}{3}$

Solve for h and k

$h = -\frac{3}{2}$ and $k = -\frac{2}{3}$

Hence, the center is:

$Center = (-\frac{3}{2}, -\frac{2}{3})$
