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...

Is the formula s=(n-2)180
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Number of sides of the polygon

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula S=(n-2)180 is the sum of the measures of interior angles. So that's what S stands for. The only other variable remaining is n which is the number of sides of the polygon.

There's nothing I can do to help you understand this, you just have to memorize it.

What are the coordinates of the image of C if it is reflected across the x-axis?
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

(-2, 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

~When reflecting a point of the x-axis, the x value (or first number inside the parenthesis) does not change.

The reason the x-value does not change is because you are reflecting over the x-axis, making the point go up or down. That will change the y-value but the x-value only changes if you move to the left or the right. In this case, you can see that the point's x-value is -2, so that will not change. It's current y-value however is -4. When reflecting over an axis, the number that is changing (in this case the y-value) will just be flipped from positive to negative, or vise versa. In this case, -4 will be reflected to be 4, making point C reflected over the x-axis (-2, 4).

Estimate the distance you can travel in 3 hours 20 minutes if you drive on average 49 miles per hour. Round your answer to the n
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

163 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a ratio based on 49 miles in 1 hour (60 minutes):

let 'd' = distance in 3hrs, 20 min

3hrs, 20 min = 200 minutes

49/60 = d/200

cross-multiply:

60d = 9800

d = 163.3
