Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle we know all of it's sides must be the same length, with that in mind the angles that make up the triangle must be equal as well. Knowing that a triangle's three interior angles make up 180 degrees we know that the size of each angle must be one third of this (as each angle must be equal).
180/3 = 60
then we may split the triangle along it's altitude into two special right triangles
more specifically two 30-60-90 triangles.
this means that the side with 30 degrees will be some value "x" where the side for 60 degrees will be related as it is "x*sqrt(3)" and the hypotenuse (which would be the side of the triangle) would be proportionally "2x"
this would mean that the altitude is the side associated with the 60 degree angle as such we can solve for "x" using this.
12= x*sqrt(3)
12/sqrt(3)=x
4sqrt(3)=x (simplifying the radical we get "x" equals 4 square root 3)
now we may solve for the side length of the triangle which is "2x"
2*4sqrt(3) -> 8sqrt (3)
eight square root of three is the answer.
0 is the only degree that cannot work
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
(-5, 1)
Explanation:
We are given a kite on the graph which is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin and then reflected over the Y axis followed by reflection over the X axis.
We are to find the coordinates of point A after the complete transformation.
A (-5, 1)
When a point is rotated 180° clockwise about the origin, the signs of its coordinates change.
A (-5, 1) ---> A' (5, -1) - after clockwise rotation of 180 degrees about origin
Then this point A' is reflected over the Y axis where the y coordinate remains the same but x coordinate changes its sign.
A' (5, -1) ---> A'' (-5, -1) - after reflection through y axis
Now this point A'' is reflected over the X axis where the x coordinate remains the same while y coordinates changes its sign.
A'' (-5, -1) ---> A''' (-5, 1) - after complete transformation
