An equilateral triangle has a perimeter of 48 cm. What is the area?

KiRa [710]

Answer:

$A=64\sqrt{3}\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

An <u><em>equilateral triangle</em></u> has three equal sides and three equal interior angles (each interior angle measure 60 degrees)

The perimeter is equal to

$P=3b$

where

b is the length side of the equilateral triangle

we have

$P=48\ cm$

substitute

$48=3b$

solve for b

$b=48/3\\b=16\ cm$

Find the area

The formula of area applying the law of sines is equal to

$A=\frac{1}{2}b^2sin(60^o)$

substitute the value of b

$A=\frac{1}{2}(16)^2sin(60^o)$

$sin(60^o)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$A=\frac{1}{2}(16)^2(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})$

$A=64\sqrt{3}\ cm^2$

What is the average rate of change of f(x) = -x2 + 3x + 6 over the interval –3

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-(-12)}{3-(-3)} =\frac{18}{6}= 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average rate of change of a function over a given interval, basically you need to find the slope. The mathematical definition of the slope is very similar to the one we use every day. In mathematics, the slope is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. In this sense, the slope can be found using the following expression:

$Average\hspace{3}rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$
