Answer:

$3\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the height of an equilateral triangle, whose side length is 6 cm.

We know that all sides of an equilateral triangle are equal.

We can find height of an equilateral triangle using formula $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}a$ , where 'a' represents side length of equilateral triangle.

$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot 6$

$\sqrt{3}\cdot 3$

$3\sqrt{3}$

Therefore, the height of the equilateral triangle is $3\sqrt{3}$ .

Correct me if I am wrong but an equilateral has the same length on each side so wouldn’t it be 6 cm?

. Shanice is making a garden. The area of the garden is 24 ft2. Use the following shape and information to find the base (6−4) a

crimeas [40]

Answer:

The base and height of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the garden is, A = 24 ft².

The base height of the garden are:

base (b) = 6x - 4

height (h) = x + 3

Compute the value of x as follows:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times b \times h\\\\24=\frac{1}{2}\times (6x-4) \times (x+3)\\\\48=6x^{2}+18x-4x-12\\\\6x^{2}+14x-60=0\\\\3x^{2}+7x-30=0\\$

The last equation is a quadratic equation.

Compute the roots of the quadratic equation as follows:

$x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{ 2a }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{14^2 - 4(3)(-30)}}{ 2(3) }\\x = \frac{ -14 \pm \sqrt{556}}{ 6 }\\x = \frac{ -14 }{ 6 } \pm \frac{2\sqrt{139}\, }{ 6 }\\x = -\frac{ 7}{ 3 } \pm \frac{ \sqrt{139}\, }{ 3 }\\x = 1.59661\\x\approx 1.60$

The value of base and height are:

$\text{base}=6x-4=(6\times 1.60)-4=5.60\ \text{ft}\\\\\text{height}=x+3=1.60+3=4.60\ \text{ft}$

Thus, the base and height of the garden are 4.60 ft and 5.60 ft.

The scatter plot shows the study times and test scores for a number of students. How long did the person who scored 81 study?

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Option A

50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe in the diagram that the vertical axis represents the score obtained and the horizontal axis represents the study time.

To find out how many hours the person with a score of 81 studied, locate the point that is at a vertical distance of 81.

Now draw a vertical line from this point to the horizontal axis. Note that the vertical line traced intercepts the vertical axis at x= 50

Then the person who got a score of 81 studied 50 minutes

The answer is the option A

Answer:

sorry for wrong answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Labor unions arose in the nineteenth century as increasing numbers of Americans took jobs in factories, mines, and mills in the growing industrial economy.

The Knights of Labor, founded in 1869, was the first major labor organization in the United States. The Knights organized unskilled and skilled workers, campaigned for an eight hour workday, and aspired to form a cooperative society in which laborers owned the industries in which they worked.

The Knights’ membership collapsed following the 1886 Haymarket Square riot in Chicago. By 1886 the American Federation of Labor (AFL), an alliance of skilled workers’ trade unions, was growing.
