Base=30cm
heights=20cm
find the x?

x = 25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the triangle is isosceles ( 2 equal sides )

Then the line from the vertex is a perpendicular bisector of the base

We can use Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

where x is the hypotenuse and the legs are 15 and 20, so

x² = 15² + 20² = 225 + 400 = 625

Take the square root of both sides

x = = 25

y -5 = (-1/4)(x + 8)
