Answer: Im pretty sure it would be 67, find area of each side then add
Answer:
The Trout will have to jump 49 cm in order to catch the insect
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the distance the Trout has to jump in order to catch the Insect
To calculate this, we need to know the difference in the distances
From what we have, the Trout is 32 cm below the surface while the Insect is 17 cm above the surface of the lake
The difference in height which will represent the distance that the Trout has to jump to catch the insect will be ;
17 + 32 = 49 cm
An equilateral triangle has three 60 degree angles.
The altitude divides it into two 30 60 90 triangles.
The altitude is the "middle side" of such a triangle.
When that is the case, the middle side divided by the square root of 3 = the short side and multiplied by (2/sq root (3)) equals the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the side of the equilateral triangle.
So, 6 * 2 / (sq root of 3) =
