Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

I take it that the question is What is the value of x.

... Every triangle has a measure of 180o so that is what is on the right side of the equation.

... the Vertex of an isosceles triangle has a unique value. There is only one angle with a measure of 42.

... The Base angles are equal. And there are 2 of them.

Equation

2x + 3 + 2x + 3 + 42 = 180o      

Solution

Combine like terms

2x + 2x + 3 + 3 + 42 = 180  Show the like terms as 1 term for the xs and 1 for the pure numbers on the left.

4x + 48 = 180   Subtract 48 from both sides

4x = 180 - 48    combine

4x = 132            Divide by 4

4x/4 = 132/4

x = 33

Answer

x = 33

2x + 3 = 2*33 + 3 = 69

So the three angles are

69 + 69 + 42

Check

69 + 69 + 42

138 + 42

180 as it should.

Given the set of vertices, determine whether parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. List all that apply. A(7,-4),
Sloan [31]

Given:

Vertices of a parallelogram ABCD are A(7,-4), B(-1,-4), C(-1,-12), D(7, -12).

To find:

Whether the parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square.

Solution:

Distance formula:

D=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

Using distance formula, we get

AB=\sqrt{(-4-(-4))^2+(-1-7)^2}

AB=\sqrt{(-4+4)^2+(-8)^2}

AB=\sqrt{0+64}

AB=8

Similarly,

BC=\sqrt{(-1-(-1))^2+(12-(-4))^2}=8

CD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-12))^2}=8

AD=\sqrt{(7-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8

All sides of parallelogram are equal.

AC=\sqrt{(-1-7)^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}

BD=\sqrt{(7-(-1))^2+(-12-(-4))^2}=8\sqrt{2}

Both diagonals are equal.

Since, all sides are equal and both diagonals are equal, therefore, the parallelogram ABCD is a square.

We know that, a square is special case of rectangles and rhombus.

So, parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus, rectangle or square. Therefore, the correct option is c.

What the heck do i do with this
Ad libitum [116K]
Use the law of cosines to find a: a^2=b^2+c^2-2bc (cos(A))

So to use the given numbers you get: a^2=27^2+45^2-2(27)(45)(cos(53))

Which would come out to equal about 35.94

so a=35.9
