Answer:

51 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse = 1 : sqrt(3) : 2

The reason this is relevant here is that in your case, you start with an equilateral triangle, FGH. An equilateral triangle is also equiangular, so all angles are congruent and measure 60 deg.

m<F = m<FGH = m<H = 60 deg

When the height GR is drawn, <FGH is bisected creating two 30-60-90 degree triangles, FGR and HGR.

The altitude GR also bisects side HF, so

HR = FR = (1/2)HF = 17*sqrt(3)

In 30-60-90 degree triangle FRG, the short leg is FR; the long leg is GR; the hypotenuse is FG.

Now we use the ratio of the lengths of the sides of a 30-60-90 degree triangle.

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse = 1 : sqrt(3) : 2

We use only the short leg and long leg parts of the ratios.

17*sqrt(3) : GR = 1 : sqrt(3)

GR * 1 = 17 * sqrt(3) * sqrt(3)

GR = 17 * 3

GR = 51

Find the size of the angle <br> 3<br> x<br> .
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

Given - Two angles measures 2x and 3x

To find - size of 3x

Solution -

2x + 3x = 360° ( Make reflex angle )

5x = 360°

x = 360/5

x = 72°

3x = 3 * 72 = 216°

Math be hard- Can ya help?
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope equation for this problem is

y2-y1

--------

x2-x1

So the y2=4, y1=3, x2=8, and x1=0

4-3      =1

-----       --

8-0     =8

Which is 1/8
