Answer:

x = 2√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is isosceles, it means 2 of the angles are equal and 2 of the sides are also equal.

Now, since we see that it is also a right angled triangle, it means one angle is 90°.

Let the equal angles be a.

Thus;

a + a + 90 = 180 (since sum of angles in a triangle is 180)

2a + 90 = 180

2a = 180 - 90

2a = 90

a = 90/2

a = 45°

Now, using sine rule, we can find x. Thus;

x/sin 45 = 4/sin 90

sin 90 = 1

sin 45 = 1/√2

Thus;

x = (4 × 1/√2)/1

x = 4/√2

Let's rationalize the denominator to get;

x = (4/√2) × √2/√2

x = (4√2)/2

x = 2√2

What is the least common multipul of 6 and 8?
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

24

The LCM of 6 and 8 is 24. To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 8, we need to find the multiples of 6 and 8 (multiples of 6 = 6, 12, 18, 24; multiples of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32) and choose the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 6 and 8, i.e., 24.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

I think the answer is 200cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

since the square is divided into eight equal parts

and one shaded part is =25cm^2

multiply the area of the shaded part by the number of equal parts

= 25cm^2 ×8

= 200cm^2

What is the x in 4x-5=8​
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

x= 3.25

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5=8

1. Take the -5 to the other side as a plus so now your question is

4x=13

2. to get the x by its self divide both sides by 4.

13 divided by 4 is 3.25

therefore x=3.25
