So, the triangle is equilateral, all its sides are equal⇒
AB=BC=AC=8
In an equilateral triangle, the height is also the median, so it divides the sides into 2 equal parts⇒
AO=OC=8:2=4
by the Pythagorean theorem
Answer: BO=4√3

P.S. Hello from Russia :^)
I found an image that corresponds to the above question.
The shape was a rectangle. Its width is 7 units, its length is x.
The shaded area of the rectangle forms a trapezoid.
Area of a trapezoid = [(a+b)/2] * h
63 sq. units = (7+x)/2 * 7
63/7 = (7+x)/2
9 = (7+x)/2
9*2 = 7 + x
18 = 7 + x
18 - 7 = x
11 = x
The value of x is 11 units. It is the length of the rectangle.
Area of the trapezoid = (a+b)/2 * h
63 = (7+11)/2 * 7
63 = 18/2 * 7
63 = 9 * 7
63 = 63
Step-by-step explanation:
Case 1 : |x| > a, => x > a or x < -a
Case 2 : |x| < a, => -a < x < a
Since this question follows Case 1, we will have an "or" inequality.
The distance between the points is 5
