Answer:

x = 14.13ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for illustration

Required

Find x

To do this, we apply Pythagoras theorem.

From the attachment, the length of the hypotenuse is 16.7ft

While the length of the opposite/adjacent is 8.9ft

Length x is calculated using:

16.7^2 = 8.9^2 + x^2

x^2 = 16.7^2 - 8.9^2

x^2 = 199.68

Take square roots

x = \sqrt{199.68

x = 14.13ft

Answer:

x = 48°

Step-by-step explanation:

42 + 90 + x = 180 (we can tell because it is a straight line and straight lines are supplementary, ie = 180)

Rearrange the equation so that x is on one side:

x = 180 - 90 - 42

Simplify

x = 48°

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Lets assume the sides of the isosceles triangle are:

Side A: x

Side B: x

Base: x/2

x+x+x/2= 46.8cm

2x+x/2=46.8cm

4x+x=93.6

5x=93.6

x= 18.72

Side A: 18.72cm

Side B: 18.72cm

Base: 9.36cm

The base of the largest triangular flag Sara can make is 9.36cm.

2x+x/2= 46.8cm
