Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for calxulating the area if the isosceles triangle is expressed as;

A = \frac{1}{2}bh

b is the base of the triangle

h is the altitude

Given

b = 16ft

h = 10ft

Substitute

A = 1/2 * 16 * 10

A = 8*10

A = 80ft²

Hence the area of the triangle is 80ft²

b) To get the measure of one side of the triangle, we will use the pythagoras theorem. Let s be the slant side

s² = h²+(b/2)²

s² = 10²+(16/2)²

s² = 10²+(8)²

s² =100+64

s² =164

s = √164

s = 12.8ft

Hence one side of the triangle is 12.8ft

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a parallel line so the equation is

100+19x+4=180

19x=180-100-4

19x=76

x=76/19

x=4

Use the graphs below to help you answer the question. Which of the following is the best approximation to a solution of the equa
brilliants [131]

Answer:

2 is the correct option.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation e^x=4x+1.

We will plot the graphs of the function e^x and 4x+1.

Then, the intersection points of both the graph will be the solution of the equation e^x=4x+1.

From the graphs, we see that,

The intersection points of the graphs are (0,1) and (2.337,10.347).

The solution of the equation is the value of 'x' co-ordinate where they intersect.

So, we get, x = 2 is the correct option.

X + 25/-8 = -6 Solve for x.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.
balandron [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

if there is nothing missing, we have

x + 25/-8 = -6

in order to compare or add or subtract fractions, we need to bring them all to the same denominator (bottom part).

remember, integer numbers are fractions too. like here

-6 = -6/1

25/-8 = -25/8

so, how can we bring -6/1 to .../8 ?

by multiplying 1 by 8.

but we cannot multiply only the denominator by 8. otherwise we would suddenly have

-6/8

and is -6/8 = -6/1 ? no, certainly not.

to keep the original value of the fraction we have to do the same multiplication also with the numerator (top part).

so, we actually do

-6/1 × 8/8 = -48/8

with this little trick we have now .../8 to operate with, and our transformed fraction has still the same value

-6/1 = -48/8 indeed.

so, we have

x + -25/8 = -48/8

x - 25/8 = -48/8

x = -48/8 + 25/8 = -23/8
