Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the square.

Length of the square = a

a² +a² = diagonal²

2a² = 12²

2a² = 144

a² = 144 ÷ 2

a² = 72

a =\sqrt{72}\\\\  = \sqrt{2*2*2*3*3}\\\\ = 2*3\sqrt{2}\\\\a = 6\sqrt{2}\\\\\\\\Perimeter= 4a\\\\ = 4*6\sqrt{2}\\\\= 24\sqrt{2} cm

Hey Rireneb!

This is a pretty simple Geometry question, so I will explain it in-depth for you to understand clearly! What you have displayed in the image is an isosceles triangle, meaning that both base angles are congruent (to each other). You know that the angle opposite to the base is 93.5, so you can subtract that from 180 and get 180-93.5=86.5
So, your base angles must be equal AND equal 86.5 when added up. So you must do the following, 86.5/2, which would get you to the answer 43.35. So, 43.25 is the value of each base angle, meaning that x = 43.25. Finally, the most appropriate answer to your question would be option 2!

Hope I was able to help! If you need any more help, please let me know and I will further assist you.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

<h2>34</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum interior of triangles add up to 180 degrees. So add 103 + 43 to get 146 then subtract 180 - 146 to get 34 as the last missing angle of the triangle
