Answer:
<h2>For the first triangle, <u>x equals 22cm.</u></h2>
Here's how:-
x is the altitude or height of the triangle. To find it, we can use the Pythagoras theorem:-
The base is 120cm and the hypotenuse is 122cm
Putting this in the equation, we get:-
= 484
altitude = 
<h3>altitude = 22cm</h3><h2><u>So, x = 22cm</u></h2>
3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you cut a whole pie into two you get two (2) ½ pieces
1 ÷ 2 = ½
When you cut the two ½ pieces into two you get four (4) ¼ pieces;
½ ÷ 2 = ¼
When you cut the four ¼ pieces into two you get 8 1/8 pieces;
¼ ÷ 2 = ¹/8
Therefore the whole pie at this point is made up of 8 ¹/8 pieces. When two (2) of these pieces are eaten we are left with 6 ¹/8 pieces;
8 – 2 = 6
The portion of the pie left therefore is;
6 * ¹/8 pieces
= ⁶/8
= ³/4
Answer:
Option D.
Step-by-step explanation:
- First, the you need ti understand that the triangle is an isosceles right angled triangle. In other words, the base and height are equal in length. The third side is the slide. This is the longest side.
- Next, we know that the formula for calculating the area of a right angled triangle is given by:
A = 1/2 (base × perpendicular height)
- The perpendicular height is equal to the base. Let's say the base is <em>x</em>. It means that the height is also x, since height = base.
- Therefore, the formula will be:
A = 1/2 (x.x)
=1/2 (x²)
32 = 1/2 (x²)
Multiplying both sides by 2 gives:
32×2 = x²
64 = x²
8 = x
To find the third side, we use the Pythagoras theorem:
C² = A² + B²
= 8² + 8²
= 128
C = √128
= 8√2
However, the answer will not be exact, so we multiply the length of the base and height by 2. This gives x = 16 (Length of base = length of height)
Repeating the steps above gives C = √ (16)² + (16)²
= √256
This corresponds to option D.
