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.

Find the difference quotient and simplify your answer. f(x) = 4x − x2, f(4 + h) − f(4) h , h ≠ 0
Anon25 [30]

The difference quotient and simplification will be    = [4 -h-2x]

The given equation is as follows:   f(x)= 4x - x²

For finding the quotient and further simplification we must follow the following steps:

[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h

<h3>What is simplification of algebraic operations?</h3>

Getting the functions in their lowest terms is known as simplification.

Brackets will get open and solved further;

[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4(x + h) - (x + h)² - 4x + x²]/ h

[f(x + h) - f(x)] / h = [4h - h² - 2x]/ h  

Finally dividing the whole equation with h;

                                = [4 - h - 2x]
