The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side x in simplest radical form

Mathematics

Answer:

4sqrt(3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is equilateral, the hypotenuse is 2x

We can use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

x^2 + 12^2 = (2x)^2

x^2 + 144 = 4x^2

144 = 4x^2 -x^2

144 = 3x^2

48 = x^2

Taking the square root of each side

sqrt(48) = sqrt(x^2)

sqrt(16*3) = x

4 sqrt(3) =x

givi [52]

Answer: a = 1 b = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2(y^3)^4/x.y^5 = x^a.y^b

x^2(y^12) = x^a.y^b

(x^2).(y^12)/x^y^5 = x.y^7

x.y^7= x^a . y^b -> <u>x^1.y^7</u>
