<h2>Answer: <em>x = 7.5</em></h2>

<em />

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem ( a^{2}+b^{2} =c^{2} )

The longest side is <em>c = the hypotenuse</em>, and <em>a and b = the other sides</em> of the triangle.

a = 4                              First: 4^{2}+x^{2}=8.5^{2}

b = x                         Second: 16+x^{2}=72.25  

c = 8.5                          Third: x^{2}=56.25

                                  Fourth: x=\sqrt{56.25}

                                      Fifth: x = 7.5

The perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. Find the length of the two equal sides when each is 10 centimeters lon
natita [175]

Answer: the length of each of the two equal sides is 25 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of each of the two equal sides. This means that the total length of the two longer sides is 2x.

Let y represent the length of the third side.

The perimeter of a triangle is expressed as the sum of the length of each side of the triangle. The perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 65 centimeters. It means that

2x + y = 65 - - - - - - - - - 1

Each of the equal sides is 10 centimeters longer than the third side. This means that

x = y + 10

Substituting x = y + 10 into equation 1, it becomes

2(y + 10) + y = 65

2y + 20 + y = 65

2y + y = 65 - 20

3y = 45

y = 45/3 = 15

Substituting y = 15 into x = y + 10, it becomes

x = 15 + 10 = 25

Suppose someone tells you that she has a triangle with sides having lengths 2.2, 4.5, and 6.7. Is this a right triangle?
laila [671]
You can apply the Pythagorean theorem:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
c is the longest side of the triangle
2.2^2 + 4.2^2 = 6.7^2
4.84 + 17.64 = 44.89
22.48 =/= 44.89
That is not a right triangle
