The sides of an equilateral triangle are 8 units long.what is the length of the altitude of the triangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
dedylja [7]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Equilateral triangle implies each angle is 60 degree.

And any median is the altitude.

So, NT perpendicular LM, where T is the midpoint of [ML];

We use the Pythagorean Theorem in right triangle NTL ( NT = h; NL = a;

LT = a / 2 );

h² = a² - (a/2)² = a² - a²/4 = 4a²/4 - a²/4 = 3a²/4 ;

It follows that

h = √(3a²/4) = a√3/2 ≈ 0,866*a;

But, a = 8;

h ≈ 0,866 * 8 ≈ 6,928;

Step-by-step explanation:

What is pythagoras triplets?
dedylja [7]
A pythagoras triplet is a set of three numbers ... not just any three numbers,
but a set where the (square of one of them) is the sum of the (squares of the
other two). 

If they're related in that way, then they can be the lengths of the sides of a
right triangle.

If they're not, then they can't.

A 99% confidence interval for the mean μ of a population is computed from a random sample and found to be 6 ± 3. We may conclude
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

From a random sample, we build a confidence interval, with a confidence level of x%.

The interpretation is that we are x% sure that the interval contains the true mean of the population.

In this problem:

99% confidence interval.

6 ± 3.

So between 6-3 = 3 and 6 + 3 = 9.

So we are 99% sure that the true population mean is between 3 and 9.

So the correct answer is:

A. there is a 99% probability that μ is between 3 and 9.

James Wants to triple his vegetarian meatball recipe that uses 1 lb. 10 oz. of tofu how much tofu will he need in total
AVprozaik [17]
Answer: The tripled tofu is 4 lb. 14 oz. Explanation: So you first want to turn your mass into the same unit, so change the pounds of tofu into ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, which means the total mass of the original tofu could be written as (16 oz.) + 10 oz. = 26 oz. tofu. Multiply this by 3, and you have tripled the tofu. 3 * 26 = 78. To simplify it, divide 78 oz by 16 to find pounds, and leave the remainder in ounces. 78/16 = 4 lb. 14 oz tofu.
