This makes a right triangle with hypotenuse x+2 and legs 10 and x

10²+x²=(x+2)²

100 + x² = x²+4x+4

100=4x+4

4x=96

x=24, the height we are looking for

base: 10

height: x

diagonal: x + 2

base² + side² = diagonal²

  (10)² + (x)²  = (x + 2)²

    100 + x²  = x² + 4x + 4

          100  = 4x + 4

            96 = 4x

           24 = x

Answer: 24 ft

The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = 2pi*r, where r is the radius.  Here, 7850 units = C = 2pi*r.

Dividing 7850 units by 2pi, we get
        7850 units
r  = ----------------- = 1249 units (to the nearest unit)

The diagram below shows an Isosceles triangle. Label the base angles and the vertex
Anna007 [38]

The  measure of each base angle is 34 degrees and the measure of the vertex angle is 112 degrees

Find the diagram attached.

The base of the isosceles triangle is "b".

Since the base angles are equal, hence the sum of the interior angle is expressed as:

b + b + 112  = 180

2b + 112  = 180

2b = 180 - 112

2b = 68

b = 68/2

b = 34 degrees

Hence the  measure of each base angle is 34 degrees and the measure of the vertex angle is 112 degrees
