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

Convert -3pi/10 to degrees
ipn [44]

we know there are 180° in π radians, how many degrees then in -3π/10 radians?

\bf \begin{array}{ccll} degrees&radians\\ \cline{1-2} 180&\pi \\\\ x&-\frac{3\pi }{10} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\pi }{~~-\frac{3\pi }{10}~~}\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\frac{\pi}{1} }{~~-\frac{3\pi }{10}~~} \\\\\\ \cfrac{180}{x}=\cfrac{\pi }{1}\cdot \cfrac{10}{-3\pi }\implies \cfrac{180}{x}=-\cfrac{10}{3}\implies 540=-10x\implies \cfrac{540}{-10}=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill -54=x~\hfill
