Answer: 80 meters</h3>
This is an isosceles triangle. The dashed line is the height which is perpendicular to the base 120. The height is always perpendicular to the base. The dashed line cuts the base into two equal pieces (this only works for isosceles triangles when you cut at the vertex like this).
So we have two smaller triangles each with a base of 60 and a height of x. Focus on one of the right triangles and use the pythagorean theorem to solve for x.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
x^2 + (60)^2 = (100)^2
x^2 + 3600 = 10000
x^2 = 10000 - 3600
x^2 = 6400
x = sqrt(6400)
x = 80
Each smaller right triangle has side lengths of 60, 80, 100
Note the ratio 60:80:100 reduces to 3:4:5. A 3-4-5 right triangle is a very common pythagorean primitive.
X cannot be 6 or -2/5 because if they were the denominator would be zero
Answer:
35,000
Step-by-step explanation:
^4 means 4 zeros
10^4 = 10,000
3.5 times 10,000 =
35,000
Look at 36/3 = 12.
So let's try 12 along with the one before it and the one after it.
10 + 12 + 14 = 36
yay !
Since the traversal intersects two parallel lines, the corresponding angles are congruent. Set both expressions equal to each other and you get x=6
