Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
From the isosceles-base theorem, the measure of the angles adjacent to the pair of congruent sides of the triangle are equal. Since the problem declares
, the remaining unknown angles are equal (
). The sum of the interior angles of a triangle always add up to
.
Therefore:
.

Step-by-step explanation:
The matrix system for the linear equations: x + 2y = 8, 2x + 6y = 9
![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2&\\2&6\\\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x\\y\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}8\\9\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D1%262%26%5C%5C2%266%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7Dx%5C%5Cy%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%20%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D8%5C%5C9%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
To get the coefficient of x and y, the inverse of the first matrix (let the first matrix be A) must be known.
= (1 / determinant of A) x Adjoint of A
the determinant of A = (1 x 6) - (2 x 2) = 6 - 4 = 2
Adjoint of A = ![\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6&-2&\\-2&1\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bccc%7D6%26-2%26%5C%5C-2%261%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)

The generic equation for a linear function can be expressed in the slope intercept form f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept. For this problem we can first find the equation of the line. Then we substitute x = 7 to get the f(x) value, which is n at the point x = 7.
To find the equation of the linear function we first find the slope. Slope is defined as the change in f(x) divided by the change in x. As we are given a linear function, the slope at every point is the same. We can pick any two points known to find the slope.
Let's pick (3, 7) and (9, 16). The slope m is m = (16-7)/(9-3) = 9/6 = 3/2.
Now that we have the slope, we can plug in the slope and one of the points to find b. Let's use the point (3, 7).
f(x) = mx + b
7 = (1/2)(3) + b
b = 11/2
Now we can write the equation
f(x) = (1/2)x + 11/2
Plugging in x = 7 we find that f(7) = 9. n = 9
Answer: 17.5 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle LAY is a similar triangle to LYW. It has the same angle measures, but different side lengths. The hypotenuse of LAY is the line LY, while the hypotenuse of LYW is the line LW.
We can use the line LY to find LW.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find LY:
(3.5)^2 + 7^2 = 61.25
So, LY has a length of
.
You can then use proportions to find the distance of LW.
The line LA is the base of the smaller triangle, and the line LY is the base of the larger triangle.
The line LY is the hypotenuse of the smaller triangle, and the line LW is the hypotenuse of the larger triangle.

You can then cross multiply to get this equation:

So, the line LW has a length of 17.5.
