what is the length of the base? help me please thank u ;)​

Answers

Answer:   26

=============================================================

Explanation:

a = 26 and b = 26 are the congruent legs

angle C = 60 degrees is between sides 'a' and b

c = unknown base which is opposite angle C

We'll use the law of cosines to find this missing side.

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2*a*b*cos(C)

c^2 = 26^2 + 26^2 - 2*26*26*cos(60)

c^2 = 676

c = sqrt(676)

c = 26

It turns out that all three sides are the same length (26), which means this isosceles triangle is really equilateral. Consequently, it means all three interior angles are 60 degrees each.

---------------

Here's another way to see why we have an equilateral triangle.

The vertex angle is 60 degrees. Let x be the measure of each base angle. Those two base angles add to the 60 degrees to get 180

x+x+60 = 180

2x+60 = 180

2x = 180-60

2x = 120

x = 120/2

x = 60

Each base angle is 60 degrees, so all three angles are 60 degrees. This points us to the triangle being equilateral and we can say all three sides are 26 units long.

If we didn't have an equilateral triangle, then we'd have no choice but to use the law of cosines mentioned earlier.

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:base \:\:side = 26 \:\: units [/tex]

As the two sides of the triangle are equal, the corresponding angles opposite to the the sides are equal as well.

[tex] \textsf{let each of those angles measure ' x ' } [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:x + x + 60 = 180[/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:x = \cfrac{120}{2} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:x = 60 \degree[/tex]

Therefore, all angles of the triangle are equal. that being the case we can conclude that it's an equilateral triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{-1-(-2)}{4-0}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-1+2}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 2 ) ⇒ c = - 2

y = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x - 2 ← equation of line

This can be solved using the gradient-intercept formula:

y = mx + c

where,
m is the gradient, and
c is the y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis)

Gradient can be calculated using the following formula, or rise/run:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
= (-1 - - 2)/(4 - 0)
= 1/4

Therefore, using the gradient-intercept form:
y = mx + c
y = (1/4)x + (-2) (-2 is the point where the line crosses the y-axis)

Therefore, y = (1/4)x - 2 or Option C is the answer

Answer:

a = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the expression:

12x² + ax - 20

3x + 4 is a factor. Therefore:

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x · 4x) + ax + (4 · (-5))

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x + 4)(4x - 5)

(3x + 4)(4x - 5) = (3x)(4x) + (3x)(-5) + (4)(4x) + (4)(-5)

= 12x² - 15x + 16x - 20 = 12x² + x - 20

a = 1

Other method:

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x + 4)(bx + c)

12x² + ax - 20 = (3x)(bx) + (3x)(c) + (4)(bx) + (4)(c)

12x² + ax - 20 = 3bx² + 3cx + 4bx + 4c

12x² + ax - 20 = 3b² + (3c + 4b)x + 4c

therefore

3b = 12

a = 3c + 4b

4c = -20

3b = 12 ⇒ b = 4

4c = -20 ⇒ c = -5

substitute to a:

a = 3 · (-5) + 4 · 4

a = -15 + 16

a = 1

5(4x + 7)-2x = ________+ 21

Answers

Answer:

18x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to distribute the 5:

 5(4x + 7) - 2x = __ + 21

 20x + 35 - 2x = __ + 21

Now, we can combine like terms:

 20x + 35 - 2x  = ___ + 21

  18x + 35 = ___ + 21

> subtract 21 from both sides to isolate "___"

 18x + 35 = __ + 21

          -21             -21

18x + 14 = ___

now that we have a solution, we should check that it works:

5(4x + 7) - 2x = ____ + 21

5(4x + 7) - 2x = 18x + 14 + 21  

{simplify both sides:}

20x + 35 -2x = 18x + 35

18x + 35 = 18x + 35

(TRUE)


So, we know our solution is 18x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the deck is the difference between the area of the square and the area of the circular hot tub.

__

square area

The area of the square is given by the formula ...

  A = s² . . . . where s is the side length

For a side length of 5 m, the area is ...

  A = (5 m)² = 25 m²

circle area

The area of a circle is found from the formula ...

  A = (π/4)d² . . . . where d is the diameter

For a diameter of 3 m, the area is ...

  A = (π/4)(3 m)² = 9/4π m² ≈ 7.069 m²

deck area

The area of the deck is the difference between the square area and the circle area:

  deck area = 25 m² -7.069 m² ≈ 17.9 m²

The area of the deck surrounding the hot tub is about 17.9 m².

In ABC, CT is a median. What is the measure of AB?

Fill in the blank by enter in just a number for your answer.

Answers

Answer:

AB = 102

Step-by-step explanation:

the median CT bisects the side AB at T , then

BT = AT , that is

7x + 9 = 5x + 21 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

2x + 9 = 21 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

then

AB = 5x + 21 + 7x + 9 = 12x + 30 = 12(6) + 30 = 72 + 30 = 102

The measure of AB is 102.

How to estimate the measure of AB?

The median CT bisects the side AB at T, then

BT = AT

7x + 9 = 5x + 21

subtracting 5x from both sides of the equation, we get

2x + 9 = 21

subtract 9 from both sides, and we get

2x = 12

Divide both sides by 2, we get

x = 6

then, AB = 5x + 21 + 7x + 9

AB = 12x + 30

Substituting the value of x,

12x + 30 = 12(6) + 30

= 72 + 30

AB = 102

Therefore, the measure of AB is 102.
