Answer:

The triangle's perimeter is 61.77 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since an altitude is drawn from the vertex of an isosceles triangle, forming a right angle and two congruent triangles, and as a result, the altitude cuts the base into two equal segments, and the length of the altitude is 26 inches, and the length of the base is 9 inches, to find the triangle's perimeter the following calculation must be performed:

Isosceles triangle = 2 equal sides

To obtain the value of the sides, the Pythagorean theorem must be applied on the right triangle formed with the altitude.

(9/2) ^ 2 + 26 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

4.5 ^ 2 + 26 ^ 2 = X ^ 2

20.25 + 676 = X ^ 2

√ (20.25 + 676) = X

√696.25 = X

26.38 = X

26.3865 x 2 + 9 = X

52.77 + 9 = X

61.77 = X

Therefore, the triangle's perimeter is 61.77 inches.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Area is 235

Step-by-step explanation:

Split the shape evenly so 11 x 14 and 9 x 9then multly and add

when slpitting up the number some times you have to add or subtract so to get 9 x 9 we just take 20 then take away 11 due to the line going through 20 and 20 - 11 = 9

9 x 9 = 81

11 x 14 = 154

81 + 154 = 235

or

Simular to the first one but the cutting line is different. this time the line cuts through 14

9 x 20 = 180

11 x 5 = 55

180 + 55 = 235

Solve for v -7 v+3 = -63
denis23 [38]

Answer:

v = 66/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

-7v + 3 = -63

Step 2: Solve for <em>v</em>

<u>Subtract 3 on both sides:</u> -7v = -66

<u>Divide both sides by -7:</u> v = 66/7

Step 3: Check

<em>Plug in x to verify if it's a solution.</em>

-7(66/7) + 3 = -63

-66 + 3 = -63

-63 = -63
