Answer:
The value of x is 5 centimeters.
Therefore, option 3 is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
A triangle has three sides 3,x and 4 cms
Since the triangle is right angle triangle so, it will follow the Pythagoras theorem:
(1)
We have been given three sides x,3 and 4
On substituting the values in (1) we get:
Hence, the value of x is 5 centimeters.
Therefore, option 3 is correct.
Please look at the attachment for the figure.
Answer:
x = 2 cm
y = 2 cm
A(max) = 4 cm²
Step-by-step explanation: See Annex
The right isosceles triangle has two 45° angles and the right angle.
tan 45° = 1 = x / 4 - y or x = 4 - y y = 4 - x
A(r) = x* y
Area of the rectangle as a function of x
A(x) = x * ( 4 - x ) A(x) = 4*x - x²
Tacking derivatives on both sides of the equation:
A´(x) = 4 - 2*x A´(x) = 0 4 - 2*x = 0
2*x = 4
x = 2 cm
And y = 4 - 2 = 2 cm
The rectangle of maximum area result to be a square of side 2 cm
A(max) = 2*2 = 4 cm²
To find out if A(x) has a maximum in the point x = 2
We get the second derivative
A´´(x) = -2 A´´(x) < 0 then A(x) has a maximum at x = 2
