Anyone know how to find the area of an equilateral triangle circumscribed about a circle, given the radius of the circle?

Warning: This might be rough...
First draw it out. Label the angles at the corners of the triangle 60 (definition of equilateral triangles). Now draw a line from the center of the circle to the corner, splitting the corner in half. Label this line R and a corner as 30 degrees. No to find the height of this triangle, you do rsin(30). The base of this triangle is 2rcos(30). Now find the area of this mini triangle (rsin(30)*2rcos(30)/2=r/2*rsqrt(3)/2=r^2sqrt(3)/4). Now multiply this by 3 because you have 3 mini triangles... to get...
<span>r^2 3sqrt(3)/4</span>

lora16 [44]

Answer:

The dimension of the sandbox is (2x+1) by (x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

It seems the complete question will be:

The area of sandbox in park is represented by 2X^2-5x-3 find the dimensions of the sandbox in terms of x.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the given expression is 2X^2-5x-3. This can be rewritten as

$2x^{2} -5x-3$

If the area of the sandbox in park is represented by this expression, then the dimensions of the sandbox will be the product of the factors. To determine the factors, we will factorize the given quadratic expression.

Factorizing the expression $2x^{2} -5x-3$ , we get

$2x^{2} -6x+x-3$

$2x(x-3)+1(x-3)$

$(2x+1)(x-3)$

Hence, the dimension of the sandbox is (2x+1) by (x - 3)
