Mathematics

Area of the triangle = (1/2)*base*height

base = x

height = altitude = x+6

Area of the triangle = (1/2)*x*(x+6) = 108

(1/2)*x*(x+6) = 108

x²+6x-216 =0

(x+18)(x-12)=0

x=-18, or x=12

We can use only positive value, so x=12.

Base =12 cm.

Which triangles can have two sides of the same lenghth
alisha [4.7K]

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with 2 congruent sides. The congruent sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. So if 2 sides of a triangle have the same length, then we say that the triangle is isosceles.

The larger of two numbers is four more than the smaller number.If the sum of the numbers is 61,find the numbers
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

<u>28.5 and 32.5</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>create an equation to solve:</em>

x + (x+4) =61

2x + 4 = 61 combine like terms

2x = 57 subtract 4 from both sides

x = 28.5 divide 2 from both sides

28.5 is the smaller number

the larger number is 4 more so:

28.5 + 4 = 32.5

32.5 is the larger number

check your work:

28.5 + 32.5 = 61
