Answer: 5..6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Hypotenuse of isosceles triangle is 8 inches

In isosceles triangle two sides are equal

Suppose the other side is x

Using Pythagoras we can write

\Rightarrow x^2+x^2=8^2\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=64\\\Rightarrow x^2=32\\\Rightarrow x=4\sqrt{2}\approx 5.6\ in.

Therefore, the lengths of the legs is 5.6 inches

Consider this quadratic equation. 2x2 − 1 = 3x + 4 Which equation correctly applies the quadratic formula?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2)}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic formula: \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}

2x^2-1=3x+4\\\\2x^2-3x-5=0\\\\\\frac{-(-3)+-\sqrt{(-3)^2-4(2)(-5)}}{2(2)} \\\frac{3+-\sqrt{9+40} }{4}

x = \frac{3+-7}{4}

Hope this helps and God bless!

The ratio of two numbers is 8:7. The product of these numbers is 896. What is the smaller of these two
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.
