Using the triangle find x and y

Mathematics
1 answer:
Elenna [48]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the base angle are congruent, both 44° then the triangle is isosceles.

Then the 2 legs are congruent, that is

4x - 7 = 2x + 1 ( subtract 2x from both sides )

2x - 7 = 1 ( add 7 to both sides )

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

Thus legs are both 4x - 7 = 4(4) - 7 = 16 - 7 = 9 and base = x + 3 = 4 + 3 = 7

As a check 9 + 9 + 7 = 25 → correct

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°

Subtract the sum of the base angles from 180 for y, that is

y = 180 - (44 + 44) = 180 - 88 = 92

Finally

x = 4

y = 92

angles are 92°, 44° and 44°

sides are 9, 9 and 7

Describe why you can change a subtraction problem into an addition problem
Elena-2011 [213]
A subtraction problem can be turned in to an addition problem because of negative numbers. Take 5-2=3 for example. If you change 5-2 into an addition problem then you would but he addition sign and a negative sign on 2. This will then leave you with the problem looking like 5+ -2. If you add 5 and -2 you will still get three.
