Answer:
They don’t 12+16+20= 48
12 x 16 x 20= 3840
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2
Hope this helps!!
Take the amount that it first was and multiple by 3…..?
The remaining area that the grass will cover will be given by:
Area=[area of rectangle]-[area of the triangle]
area of rectangle will be:
A1=length*width
=20*8
=160 square feet
The area of the triangle will be:
A2=1/2absin theta
since the triangle is equilateral, all the angles are equal and the size of each angle is 60°. Thus the area will be:
A2=1/2*5*5sin 60
=18.3
thus the remaining area of the grass will be:
Area=160-18.3
=149.7 square feet
