The area of the equilateral triangle with the given perimeter is 24.2cm².

Hence, option D)24.2cm² is the correct answer.

This question is incomplete, the complete question is:

An equilateral triangle has an apothem measuring 2.16 cm and a perimeter of 22.45 cm. What is the area of the equilateral triangle, rounded to the nearest tenth?

<h3>What is a triangle?</h3>

A triangle is simply a two-dimensional polygon with 3 sides and 3 interior angles.

An equilateral triangle is a triangle with all its three sides having the same length

The area of an equilateral triangle is expressed as;

A = ((√3)/4)a²

Where a is the length of the side

Perimeter of an equilateral triangle is expressed as;

P = 3a

Where a is the length of the side

Given that the perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 22.45 cm, the sides of the triangle will be;

P = 3a

22.45cm = 3a

a = 22.45cm / 3

a = 7.48cm

Now, the area of the equilateral triangle will be;

A = ((√3)/4)a²

A = ((√3)/4) × (7.48cm)²

A = 0.433 × 55.9504cm²

A = 24.2cm²

The area of the equilateral triangle with the given perimeter is 24.2cm².

Hence, option D)24.2cm² is the correct answer.

Triangle ABC has vertices of A(-6, 7), B (4, -1), and C (-2, -9). What is the length of the median from angle B?

jeka94

Coordinates of the midpoint of AC:
M ( (-6-2) / 2) , ( 7-9 ) /2 ) = ( -4, -1 )
d ( BM ) = √ ( 4 + 4 )² + ( -1+ 1 )²
d ( BM ) = √ 8 ² =√ 64 = 8
The length of the median from angle B is 8.

In quadratic drag problem, the deceleration is proportional to the square of velocity

Mars2501 [29]

Part A

Given that $a= \frac{dv}{dt} =-kv^2$

Then,

$\int dv= -kv^2\int dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow v(t)=-kv^2t+c$

For $v(0)=v_0$ , then

$v(0)=-kv^2(0)+c=v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow c=v_0$

Thus, $v(t)=-kv(t)^2t+v_0$

For $v(t)= \frac{1}{2} v_0$ , we have

$\frac{1}{2} v_0=-k\left( \frac{1}{2} v_0\right)^2t+v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4} kv_0^2t=v_0- \frac{1}{2} v_0= \frac{1}{2} v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow kv_0t=2 \\ \\ \Rightarrow t= \frac{2}{kv_0}$

Part B

Recall that from part A,

$v(t)= \frac{dx}{dt} =-kv^2t+v_0 \\ \\ \Rightarrow dx=-kv^2tdt+v_0dt \\ \\ \Rightarrow\int dx=-kv^2\int tdt+v_0\int dt+a \\ \\ \Rightarrow x=- \frac{1}{2} kv^2t^2+v_0t+a$

Now, at initial position, t = 0 and $v=v_0$ , thus we have

$x=a$

and when the velocity drops to half its value, $v= \frac{1}{2} v_0$ and $t= \frac{2}{kv_0}$

Thus,

$x=- \frac{1}{2} k\left( \frac{1}{2} v_0\right)^2\left( \frac{2}{kv_0} \right)^2+v_0\left( \frac{2}{kv_0} \right)+a \\ \\ =- \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{2}{k} +a$

Thus, the distance the particle moved from its initial position to when its velocity drops to half its initial value is given by

$- \frac{1}{2k} + \frac{2}{k} +a-a \\ \\ = \frac{2}{k} - \frac{1}{2k} = \frac{3}{2k}$
