The length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

<h3>How to find the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Triangle type = Equilateral triangle

Height (h) = 12

Missing side length = x

The missing side length, x is calculated using the following sine ratio

sin(60) = Height/Missing side length

This gives

sin(60) = 12/x

Make x the subject of the formula

So, we have

x = 12/sin(60)

Evaluate the quotient

So, we have

x = 12/(√3/2)

This gives

x = 24/√3

Rationalize

x = 24/√3 * √3/√3

Evaluate

x = 8√3

Hence, the length of side x in simplest radical form with a rational denominator is 8√3

For A for the mean just add them all up which would be which is 430 and divide by the number of numbers there is so 430 divided by 8 = 53.75 and the median order them from least to greatest and find the one in the middle which is 52 and 56 when there's two just add them and then divide it by 2 which is 54

Hope this helped :)

What adds to 20 and multiplies to 75? 5 and 15.

x^2+5x+15x+75
x(x+5) 15(x+5)
(x+15) (x+5)

Zeroes are x= -5 and x= -15
