Find the value of X in the isosceles triangle shown below.

Split the triangle in half and use the Pythagorean theorem:

x = sqrt(13^2 - 5^2)

x = sqrt(169 - 25)

x = sqrt(144)

x = 12

The answer is D. 12

answer:   28.56 feet (approx)

step-by-step explanation:

since, triangle abc has measure of angle c equal to 55 degrees, measure of angle abc equal to 90 degrees, and length of bc equal to 20 feet.

we have to find out the measurement of segment ab.

therefore, tan 55° =

but bc = 20 feet.

⇒ tan 55 ° =  

⇒ ab = 20 × tan 55 °

⇒ ab = 20 × 1.42814800674

⇒ ab = 28.5629601348   ≈ 28.56 feet

i think the answer is true
