In the isosceles △ABC m∠ACB=120° and AD is an altitude to leg BC . What is the distance from D to base AB , if CD=4cm?

snow_lady [41]

If ΔACB is an isosceles triangle, then ∠A ≅ ∠B and AC ≅ CB

Since ∠C = 120° and ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°, then ∠A = 30° and ∠B = 30°

Next, look at ΔADB. ∠A + ∠D + ∠B = 180°, so ∠A + 90° + 30° = 180° ⇒ ∠A = 30°

Now look at ΔADC. Since ∠A = 30° in ΔACB, and ∠A = 60° in ΔADB, then ∠A = 30° in ΔADC <em>per angle addition postulate.</em>

Now that we have shown that ΔADB and ΔADC are 30-60-90 triangles, we can use that formula to calculate the side lengths.

CD = 4 cm (given) so AC = 2(4 cm) = 8 cm

Since AC ≅ BC, then BC = 8 cm. Therefore, BD = 4 + 8 = 12 <em>by segment addition postulate.</em>

Lastly, look at ΔBHD. Since ∠B = 30° and ∠H = 90°, then ∠D = 60°. So, ΔBHD is also a 30-60-90 triangle.

BD = 12 cm, so HD = $\frac{12}{2}cm$ = 6 cm

Answer: 6 cm

Question 1)

Given

The expression is 5xy

To determine

Find the value of 5xy if x = 2 and y = 3

5xy

substitute x = 2 and y = 3

5xy = 5(2)(3)

= 5(6)

= 30

Therefore, the value of 5xy = 30 if x = 2 and y = 3.

<em>Note: your remaining questions are not mentioned. But, the procedure may remain the same. Hopefully, your concept will be cleared anyway.</em>

The flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle. (Recall that an isosceles triangle contains two angles with the same mea

weeeeeb [17]

31 degrees, 31 degrees, 118 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

Let x be the measure of 2 angles of the given isosceles triangle with same measure

Let y be the measure of 3rd angle

So we have x + x + y = 180

Step 2 :

Given that the measure of 3rd angle of triangle is 25° more than three times the measure of either of the other two angles

So we have , y = 3 x + 25

Step 3:

Substituting for y in the first equation we have,

x + x + 3 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x + 25 = 180

=> 5 x = 180-25 = 155

=> x = 155/5 = 31

Hence the 2 angles of the triangle are 31 degrees.

Step 4:

we have y = 3 x + 25

=> y = 3 * 31 + 25 = 118

Hence the 3rd angle of given triangle is 118 degrees
