Let the length of equilateral triangle be x.

Each of the angle in an equilateral triangle is = 60°

The opposite to the 60° is the 18 inches. Hypotenuse is the side.

Sin 60° = 18 / Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 18 / Sin60°.                      Sin60° = √3 / 2

 x = 18 / (√3 / 2)

                      =   18 / √3  *  2/1 =  36 / √3

              x       = 36 / √3

 Rationalize the surd = 36 / √3  * (√3 / √3 ) = 36√3 / 3

                                   x = 12√3 ≈ 12 * 1.732 ≈ 20.784

Length of side, x = 12√3 ≈ 20.784 inches.

What is the solution of the inequality x^3+3x^2&gt;7x+6
sveta [45]

Answer:

<u><em>x>2</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>x3+3x2=7x+6</em></u>

<u><em>x3+3x2−(7x+6)=7x+6−(7x+6)</em></u>

<u><em>x3+3x2−7x−6=0</em></u>

<u><em>(x−2)(x2+5x+3)=0</em></u>

<u><em>x−2=0 or x2+5x+3=0</em></u>

<u><em>x=2 or x=−0.6972243622680054 or x=−4.302775637731995</em></u>

<u><em>x<−4.302776</em></u>

<u><em>−4.302776<x<−0.697224</em></u>

<u><em>−0.697224<x<2</em></u>

<u><em>x>2(Works in original inequality)</em></u>
