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

The correct answer for this very hard equation would happen to be 12 because 18+12 happens to equal 30 and 42-30 just so happens to equal 12

Isaiah brought two dozen donuts to a class party. Half of the donuts had vanilla frosting with sprinkles, 2 had strawberry frost
enot [183]

Answer:

22/24

ALL TOGETHER there is 24 donuts.

take half of 24, or 24 divided by 2, and you get 12.

so we know 12 of the donuts are vanilla with sprinkles.

then 2 had strawberry frosting and the rest had chocolate and sprinkles.

we took 12 away so we only have twelve left and if 2 of those 12 are strawberry with no sprinkles and the rest are chocolate WITH sprinkles, this means 10 are chocolate with sprinkles.

so 10 chocolate and sprinkles +12 vanilla and sprinkles=22 donuts with sprinkles out of 24 donuts total

Choose the slope-intercept form of 3x + 2y = 5.
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

y = -3x/2 + 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Well, basically what you do is modify it so that y is on one side.

3x+2y = 5

2y = 5-3x

y = (5-3x)/2

y = 5/2 -3x/2

So, the answer is the second option.
