Answer: 3 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The base of the triangle is $3\frac{2}{5}\ inches$

The area of the triangle is $5\frac{1}{10}\ inches^2$

Solve mixed fraction

Base is

$=3\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\=\dfrac{17}{5}\ in.$

Area is

$=5\dfrac{1}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{51}{10}\ in.^2$

The area of the triangle is given by

$\Rightarrow \text{Area A=}\dfrac{1}{2}\times \text{base}\times \text{height}$

Insert the values to get the height

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{51}{10}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \dfrac{17}{5}\times \text{height}\\\\\Rightarrow \text{height}=3\ in.$

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

the axis of symmetry always divides a parabola into two even parts from the vertex.

Find the value of the vertex (4,7)

since you need a vertical line to split a parabola, the equation is (x = )

Use the x value of the vertex (4)

Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle shown below.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

B) $x = \sqrt{60}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As you can see from the image, there are two right triangles in the isosceles triangle. The base of each right triangle is 2 (because 4 ÷ 2 = 2), and the hypotenuse is 8.

2. Let's use Pythagorean Theorem to find the height of each right triangle, which will also give us the height of the isosceles triangle: $a^2 + b^2 = c^2$ , where a = height, b = base, and c= hypotenuse.
