1. Height of the equilateral triangle is: √3 units

2. Area of the equilateral triangle = √3 units²

3. Area = √3/4 x², when each side is x.

<h3>What is an Equilateral Triangle?</h3>

A triangle that has all its three sides equal in length, is referred to as an equilateral triangle.

1. Given the each side measures 2 units, and h is the height, applying the Pythagorean theorem, we would have:

h = √(2² - 1²)

h = √(4 - 1)

h = √3

2. Area of the equilateral triangle = 1/2bh = 1/2(2)(√3)

Area of the equilateral triangle = √3 units²

3. If x is the side length of the equilateral triangle, we would have:

height (h) = √[x² - (x/2)²] = √[x² - x²/4] = √(3x²/4) = √3/2x

Area = 1/2bh = 1/2(x)(√3/2x) = √3/4 x²

Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form. What is the value of c in her equation
Zolol [24]

Mischa wrote the quadratic equation 0 = –x2 + 4x – 7 in standard form

The standard form of quadratic equation is

y= ax^2 + bx + c

When y=0 then the standard equation becomes

0= ax^2 + bx + c

Now we compare the given equation 0 = -x^2 + 4x - 7  with 0= ax^2 + bx + c and find the value of a, b,c

-x^2 can be written as -1x^2

0= ax^2 + bx + c

0 = -1x^2 + 4x - 7

a= -1 , b=4  and c=-7

The value of c is -7

Determine if each set of ordered pairs represents a function. <br> (2,3), (6,-5), (-1,3)
docker41 [41]

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can perform the "line test." If it is a function, there will not be two x's of the same value. In this case, x is 2,6,-1. No number repeats, thus making a function.

Jimmy was supposed to multiply a certain number by 43 but by mistake he multiplied that number by 34 as a result his answer was
vredina [299]

Answer:

345

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by two equations. Our variables will be the following:

x is the amount to be multiplied

and y is the amount that should be obtained by multiplying by 43

Thus our <u>first equation</u> is:

43x=y

But the problem tells us that there was an error and the number x was multiplied by 34, so the result failed by 3105, thus the <u>second equation</u> is as follows:

34x=y-3105

By multiplying the quantity by 34, an amount is obtained that differs from 3105 from what it would have been obtained if multiplied by 43.

Now we are going to <u>replace the first equation in the second one </u>(y=43x):

34x=43x-3105

And clear to find x:

3105=43x-34x\\3105=9x\\\frac{3105}{9}=x\\345=x

The number that jimmy was supposed to multiply by 43 is 345.
