Find the value of z in the isosceles triangle shown below.
V20
V20
8

Step-by-step explanation:

use Pythagorean theorem:

a² + b² = c²

where a = x

           b = 8/2 = 4  

           c = √20

plugin values into the formula:

x² + 4² = (√20)²

x² + 16 = 20

x² = 20 - 16

x = √4

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

the graph in the attached figure

the roots are ( x-intercepts) x=-0.5,x=1,x=3

the y-intercept is the point (0,3)
