Answer:
x = - 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
x² = 24 ( multiply both sides by 3 )
2x² = 72 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x² = 36 ( take the square root of both sides )
x = ± ← note plus or minus
x = ± 6
solutions are x = - 6, x = + 6
The smallest solution is x = - 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a be the length of the altitude, then from the given triangles, applying the basic proportionality theorem, we get
⇒
⇒
⇒
⇒
Thus, the length of altitude is: 12 cm.
Now,
⇒
⇒
Also,
⇒
⇒
Thus, the lengths of the legs of this triangle are 14.83 and 20 cm.
