Answer:
x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Other than using the plain special aspect of a 45-45-90 triangle where the legs are x, x, and x√2, you can solve for this.
Since the two legs have equal length, they are both x. Using the pythagorean theorem:
(x^2)+(x^2)=50 (Because 5 squared is 25 and √2 squared is 2, multiplying them gives you 50).
You can add (x^2) and (x^2) because they are the same terms (x squared).
Simplifying like so gives you:
2x^2=50
Dividing by two on both sides:
x^2=25
Taking the square root of both sides:
x=5
For the answer to the question above, this is a right triangle problem using the tangent function.
<span>Tan(x) = Opposite (O) / Adjacent (A) </span>
<span>x = 40 degrees </span>
<span>A = 30 ft </span>
<span>Solve for O </span>
<span>O= Tan (x) * A </span>
<span>O = Tan (40) * 30 </span>
<span>Use your calculator or whatever method to get the tangent of 40 degrees (which is .84) </span>
<span>O = .84 * 30 </span>
<span>O = 25.2 Ft</span>
Answer:
16x+12
Step-by-step explanation:
4 sides
2*(5x-2 )
10x-4
2(3x+8)
6x+16
10x-4+6x+16=16x+12
