Answer:

D. 12

Step-by-step explanation

You know this is an isoceles triangle because the two base angles on congruent. That means the two sides are equal. So, 3x = x+8. If you plug in each of the answer choices, you'll notice that 4 fits the equation. If 4 equals x, 4 times 3 equals 12 and on the other side, 4+8 also equals 12. Therefore, to find the length of MN, you would just need to do 4+8 which equals 12

Answer:the length of segment MN is 12

Step-by-step explanation:

because the angles at the bottom of each segment are equal, the length of each segment is equal as well, so set you equation as 3x=x+8, subtract x from 3x then divide 8 by 2 which equals 4. (x=4) then plug in the value of x into x+8 and you have 12

butalik [34]

If you sketch the triangle, you need to understand that 12 is the length of opposite side (opposite to theta). Then the longest side is 13 is the hypotenuse. The other side with length 5 is the adjacent side. Thus from the definition of sin(theta)=opposite side/hypotenuse=12/13. A question for you, what is cos(theta)? cos(theta)=5/15 and tan(theta)=12/5

Pie

sin(36)(9) = 5.29
cos(36)(9) = 7.28

Area = (1/2)bh
Area = (1/2)(5.29)(7.28)

In a circle, area and circumference can be found using the formulas A=(pi)r^2 and C=2(pi)r, respectively, Write a formula for A

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

$A = \dfrac{C^2}{4\pi}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Area of a circle $A=\pi r^2$

Circumference of the circle $C = 2 \pi r$

Let us re-write the equation of area of circle:

$A=\pi r^2$

$A = \pi \times r \times r$

Multiplying and dividing with 2:

$A = \dfrac{2\pi r}{2} \times r\\\text{Putting }2\pi r = C:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C}{2} \times r\\\text{Multiplying and dividing by } 2\pi:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C}{2} \times \dfrac{2\pi r}{2\pi}\\\text{Putting }2\pi r = C:\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C \times C}{4 \pi}\\\Rightarrow A = \dfrac{C^2}{4 \pi}$

Hence, A in terms of C can be represented as:

$A = \dfrac{C^2}{4\pi}$

MakcuM [25]

If Lopez's mailing bill continues to deduct 19$ from his bank account every month for a year, then in total, the deductions total for the year would be $228.00.

Why?

$19.00 is being taken away each month. There are 12 months in a year.

$19.00 x 12 months = the total of $228.00 a year.
