Answer:
The height is 10in
Step-by-step explanation:
If you need to calculate the volume, you need to know the formula. The formula is length x width x height. You have the length and width, so you need the height. 2.5in x 15in x 10in = 375 in^3. You may ask why it is inches cubed instead of inches. It is inches cubed because you multiplied three inches together.
Area of rectangle =wxl
A=(3x+5)(x-3)
A=3x^2+5x-15-9x
A=3x^2-4x-15
Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle we know all of it's sides must be the same length, with that in mind the angles that make up the triangle must be equal as well. Knowing that a triangle's three interior angles make up 180 degrees we know that the size of each angle must be one third of this (as each angle must be equal).
180/3 = 60
then we may split the triangle along it's altitude into two special right triangles
more specifically two 30-60-90 triangles.
this means that the side with 30 degrees will be some value "x" where the side for 60 degrees will be related as it is "x*sqrt(3)" and the hypotenuse (which would be the side of the triangle) would be proportionally "2x"
this would mean that the altitude is the side associated with the 60 degree angle as such we can solve for "x" using this.
12= x*sqrt(3)
12/sqrt(3)=x
4sqrt(3)=x (simplifying the radical we get "x" equals 4 square root 3)
now we may solve for the side length of the triangle which is "2x"
2*4sqrt(3) -> 8sqrt (3)
eight square root of three is the answer.
The square root of a number is the smallest (positive) number possible that when multiplied by it self equals the number in the square root.
The square root of 64 is 8 ( 8 x 8 = 64).
The answer is B.
