Find the missing length of the triangle 20 cm 12 cm

Mathematics

larisa [96]2 years ago

The shape on the left is a square with side length of 12 cm

This means the height of the triangle is 12cm.

Knowing the height and the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean you can solve for the base.

20^2 = 12^2 + x^2

400 = 144 + x^2

Subtract 144 from both sides:

256 = x^2

Take the square root of both sides

X = sqrt(256)

X = 16

X = 16

Solve: (x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38
Rainbow [258]
First you have to rewrite the equation:
(x ÷ 4) + 8 = 38

Second you have to write the division as fraction:
(¼x) + 8 = 38

Third you have to take off the unecessary bracket:

¼x + 8 = 38

Fourth multiply 8 and 38 by 4
x + 32 = 152

Fifth step move the constant to the right hand and change the sign.
x = 152 - 32

Then subtract:

x = 120

Hope this helps :))
