Find the value of x in the isosceles triangle

Mathematics

That is a question about triangles.

In my answer I will show 2 ways to solve that question, ok? Let's go.

<h3>First way - Pythagoras's theorem</h3>

The line segment <em>x</em> divide the biggest triangle in 2 equals right triangles.

Let's choose one of them and note that is a triangule with hypotenuse equals to 8 and one cathetus equals to half of 8.

The Pythagoras's theorem says that:

\boxed{a^2 = b^2 + c^2}

<em>a </em>is the hypotenuse and <em>b</em> and <em>c </em>are cathetus.

So, in our case, we know the hypotenuse and one cathetus, let's substitute that in the expression:

a^2 = b^2 + c^2\\8^2 = 4^4 + c^2\\64 = 16 + c^2\\c^2 = 64 - 16\\c^2 = 64 -16\\c^2 = 48\\c = \sqrt{48}\\c= 4\sqrt{3}

Therefore, the value of x is 4\sqrt{3}.

<h3>Second way - The equilateral triangle height</h3>

That way to solve the question is a consequence of the previous way.

That triangle has all the sides equals, so it is a equilateral triangle.The line segment <em>x </em>is the height of that triangle. And we can find the equilateral triangle height using that expression:

\boxed{h = \frac{S\cdot \sqrt{3} }{2} }

<em>h </em>is the height and <em>S </em>is the triangle's side.

So, we know that the side of our triangle is 8. Let's change S value in the expression:

h = \frac{S\cdot \sqrt{3} }{2} \\h = \frac{8\cdot \sqrt{3} }{3} \\h = 4\sqrt{3}

Thus, the value of <em>x </em>is 4\sqrt{3}.

Note that in the 2 ways we find the same result, so that answer is correct.

I hope I've helped. :D

Enjoy your studies! \o/

Step-by-step explanation:

Since all 3 sides of the triangle is equal, it is not only an isosceles, but an equilateral triangle.

x = 8sin60° = 6.928 or sqrt48.

liberstina [14]

First, given graph is very inaccurate. I suppose that you made net with pen.

a) The slope is the angle ( tan∡) between your graph and x axis.

The slope represent the level of the earnings growth.

b) According to the given graph y-intercept= 30$

Y-intercept represent starting amount of money.

c) If we accept that y=70 is connected with x=2 and y=30 with x=0

The  slope is S= (70-30)/2= 40/2=20

Linear equation for this function is

y= 20x+30

d) When we replace y=300$ in the equation we get

20x+30=300 => 20x=300-30 => 20x=270 => x=270/20=13.5h

x=13.5h

Good luck!!!

find the area of a circle that has a diameter of 11inches approximate as 13.4 round your answer to the hundreth
Vinil7 [7]

To find the area of a circle you do pi (3.14) multiplied by the radius squared.

The radius is half of the diameter: 11 / 2 = 5.5in

The radius squared is 5.5^2 = 30.25

Then take the squared radius and multiply that by pi 30.25 * 3.14 = 94.985

So the area of the circle is about 94. 99 in.

Hope this helped! Mark as Brainliest please! :)))
