Answer: 76 ft2

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter = 2 side length +base length

40 = 2s +12

Solving for s:

40-12 =2s

28 =2s

28/2=s

14ft =side

Since the line which bisects and isosceles triangles is at a right angle to the base we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height (see attachment)  

c^2 = a^2 + b^2  

Where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle (in this case 14) and a and b are the other sides. (Base divided by 2 is one side, the other side is the height)

Replacing with the values given:  

14^2= 6^2 + x^2

196 = 36 + x^2

196-36 = x^2

160 = x^2

√160 = x

x = 12.64 (height)

Area of an isosceles triangle = 1/2 x base x height  

A = 1/2 x 12 x 12.64 = 76 ft2

Solve the system useing elimination 4x+8y=16 6x-8y=4
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

x=2 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two equations to remove "y" and solve for x:

4x+8y=16

6x-8y=4

________

10x=20

x=2

Plug x=2 into one of the original equations to get the value of "y":

4x+8y=16

4(2)+8y=16

8+8y=16

8y=8

y=1

Therefore, x=2 and y=1

Using the following equation, find the center and radius of the circle. You must show all work and calculations to receive credi
Oxana [17]

Answer:

Center: (-2, 4)

Radius: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the centre and radius, we require to identify g , f and c

By comparing the coefficients of 'like terms' in the given equation with the general form.

2g = 4 → g = 2 , 2f = -8 → f = -4 and c = 4 → center=(−g,−f)=(−2,4)

radius = √22+(−4)2−4= √4+16−4=4

Center: (-2, 4)

Radius: 4

Hope This Helps! :)
