An isosceles trapezoid has bases of length 5" and 11" and a height of 4". Find the length of a leg of the trapezoid.

1 answer:

4 0

The leg would be the hypotenuse of the triangle on the ends of the trapezoid. The top base is 5 and bottom 11, the difference is 6 inches. This gives 3 inches on each side with a height of 4.
Use Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse. 3^2+4*2=c^2
9+16=c^2
25=c^2
5.=c
The leg is 5 in

The diagram is a hat box that is designed with the shape of a regular octagon inside and a rectangle outside. Find the value of

nekit [7.7K]

In a regular octagon all the interior angles are of the same value.
sum of the interior angles in octagon = (n-2) *180°
n - number of sides, in this case, n = 8
interior angles sum = (8-2)*180° = 6*180° = 1080°
since there are 8 equal angles = 1080/8 = 135°
Angle x + one interior angle of the octagon = 180 ° (as its a straight line)
x + 135 = 180
x = 45°

X(x+7)=4x+10<br> then needs to get the normal form of the equation<br> x= ?, x=?

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x(x + 7) = 4x + 10 ← distribute left side

x² + 7x = 4x + 10 ( subtract 4x + 10 from both sides )

x² + 3x - 10 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 5)(x - 2) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2
