The measure of the vertex angle of an isoceles triangle is one- fourth that of a base anglemeasure of each base angle? measure of vertex angle?

Base angle = 72

Vertex angle = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of the base angle = x. But there are two of them. (Definition of isosceles).  Keep that in mind.

The vertex angle is 1/4 of one of the base angles. That means that the vertex is 1/4 x

All three angles = 180 degrees.

So we have x + x + x/4 = 180 degrees.

change 1/4x to 0.25x x since 1/4 = 0.25

Equation

x + x + 0.25 = 180

2.5x  = 180

Solution

2.5x = 180                      Divide by 2.5 on both sides

2.5x/2.5 = 180/2.5

x = 72

Answer

That means that each base angle = 72 degrees

The Vertex Angle = 72/4 = 18

50=33x+22

step-by-step explanation:

if the eqn of the parabola is f(x) = (x-4)(x+2), we need to mult. this out to find the coordinates of the vertex.

then f(x) = x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8, and f(x) = x^2 - 2x - 8.

one way in which you can find the vertex is to calculate x = -b / (2a).   here, that comes to

        )

x = = 1.   f(1) = 1^2 - 2(1) - 8 = - 9.   vertex is at (1, -9).

        2(1) 

find another point on the curve:   let x=0, for which y=-8.   then (0, -8) is on the curve.   plot the vertex and this point and draw a smooth parabola thru both.
