Hello!

$\large\boxed{t = -8}$

We can find the value of t using the slope formula:

$slope = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Plug in the given slope and coordinates into the appropriate places:

$5 = \frac{2-t}{3-1}$

Simplify:

$5 = \frac{2-t}{2}$

Multiply both sides by 2 to begin isolating for t. Simplify and solve for t:

$5 * 2 = 2 - t\\\\10 = 2 - t\\\\8 = -t\\\\t = 8$

Answer: 113, 57, and 66

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of all of the interior angles can be found using the formula S = (n - 2)*180. It is also possible to calculate the measure of each angle if the polygon is regular by dividing the sum by the number of sides.

an isosceles triangle has congruent sides of 20cm. the base is 10cm. find the height of the triangle.

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{A_\triangle=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a triangle:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{bh}{2}$

b - base

h - height

We need a length of a height.

Use the Pythagorean theorem:

$leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2$

We have:

$leg=5,\ leg=h,\ hypotenuse=20$

Substitute:

$5^2+h^2=20^2$

$25+h^2=400$ subtract 25 from both sides

$h^2=375\to h=\sqrt{375}\\\\h=\sqrt{(25)(15)}\\\\h=\sqrt{25}\cdot\sqrt{15}\\\\h=5\sqrt{15}\ cm$

Calculate the area:

$A_\triangle=\dfrac{(10)(5\sqrt{15})}{2}=\dfrac{50\sqrt{15}}{2}=25\sqrt{15}\ cm^2$

Theresa and Mark are playing cards. Each card is -50 points.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

*Since each card is worth -50 points, you need to remember that a positive times a negative integer gives you a negative integer.*

Part A) Theresa has 5 cards so: 5 x -50 = -250

Theresa has -250 points.

Part B) Mark has 8 cards so: 8 x -50 = -400

Mark has -400 points.

Part C) Theresa has more points because -250 is closer to 0 on a number line.
