<span>x^2 - 4x - 12 = 0
factors
(x - 6)(x + 2) = 0
</span>Set (x - 6) and (x + 2)<span> equal to </span><span>0</span><span> and solve for </span><span>xx</span>.<span>
x - 6 = 0; x = 6
x + 2 = 0; x = -2
answer
x = -2 or x = 6</span>
The two unknown sides are equal to each other so then the two unknown angles are also equal.
A triangle angles add up to 180
36 + 2x = 180
2x = 180 - 36
2x = 144
unknown angles x = 72°
draw line down center of triangle to make two right triangles with side 22/2 = 11. SOH CAH TOA
cos(72) = 11/H
H = 11/cos(72)
H = 35.6
perimeter = 22 + 2(35.6)
perimeter = 93.2 cm
answer E .
5-1/12 has five (5) wholes whereas 4-1/2 has four (4) wholes
