Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the hypotenuse of a right triangle is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. A and B stand for the legs of the triangle while C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. With this information, you can plug in the numbers into the formula to discover the length of C. You can plug in 48 for either A or B since it is the only leg you know the value of, and then you plug in 50 for C since you know it is the hypotenuse. So, you get 48^2 + b^2 = 50^2. Now to find the value of the unknown leg, b, you just simplify the equation. 48^2= 2304 and 50^2= 2500. So you get 2304 + b^2 = 2500. Then, to isolate b^2 you subtract 2304 from both sides of the equation. 2500-2304 equals 196, so you get b^2 = 196. Lastly, you square root both sides of this equation to get b = 14.

Answer:

14 is the length of the missing side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use pythagorean theorem.

$48^{2}+b^{2}=50^{2}$

$2304+b^{2}=2500$

$\sqrt{b^{2}}=\sqrt{196}$

$b=14$

First of all, we have to observe this triangles separated by the height. These small and big triangles are similar according to the Angle-Angle-Angle principle.

a. We can find all of these length using the cosine of the angle, Pythagoras theorem and the principle of the similarity of triangles.

b. According to the cosine of the angle we can write that, cosθ = 12/a = 5/13 and from here a = 31.2. After finding that using Pythagoras theorem, we can write that $b=\sqrt{31.2^{2}-12^{2}} = 28.8$ . According to the similarity of the triangles, we can write that 31.2/d = 28.8/12 and d = 13. Applying Pythagoras theorem we find that c = 5.

c. We already gave the answer for this question in part b

stepladder [879]

This is the function

${2x}^{2} - 2 {x}^{1} + 12$

Then factor 2 out

$2(x^2- x + 6) = 0$

Divide both side by two and use the quadratic formula to get the following

$(x - 3)(x + 2) = 0$

X=3 And x=-2 and don't forget to Chek them

If the base of an isosceles triangle measures 29 degrees what is the measure of the other base angle

pishuonlain [190]

Isosceles triangles have two equal sides and two equal base angles. If one base angle is 29°, then the other base angle of the isosceles triangle is also 29°.

ANSWER: 29°

Hope this helped! :)
