what is the length of AB?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

this is an isosceles triangle, therefore find x by 6x = 3x + 9

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

then you can find the length of AB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could u explain the process to me

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

can you solve for x ??

OpenStudy (dan815):

hey

OpenStudy (dan815):

u still stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (dan815):

you know how iscoles triangles work?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (dan815):

since those 2 angles there are equal the sides are also equal

OpenStudy (dan815):

so the length of those sides are equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok'

OpenStudy (dan815):

side 1 = 6x side 2 = 3x+9 Side 1 = Side 2 sso 6x=3x+9 what must x be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

right, x=3, so what is the length of AB

OpenStudy (dan815):

now u know Side 1 = 6x and side2=3x+9 so what must side 1 be if x = 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

18

OpenStudy (dan815):

ya
