b=145 degrees (corresponding angles)
a+145= 180 (straight angles)
a = 180-145
a =35
Answer:
Height = 13.86 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Find the length of each side
48/3 = 16
2. cut the triangle in half.
Base = 8 Hypotenuse = 16
3. use the formula A^2 + B^2 = C^2
(16^2 - 8^2)^(1/2) = 13.86 cm
So, you need to do the same operation to each side.
Start out by subtracting 3 from each side
1/4 (20x+8) = -3
Then, multiply both sides by 4
40x+8 = -12
Then, subtract 8 from each side
40x = -20
divide both sides by 40 and you get
x=-1/2
