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]3 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;

Dave is comparing the circumferences of several trees in his yard. The oak tree is 0.539 meters in circumference, the ash tree h
stepan [7]

Answer:   c. elm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The circumference of the oak tree= 0.539 meters

=0.539\times100=53.9\text{ cm}   [∵ 1 m = 100 cm]             (1)

The circumference of the ash tree= 0.509 yards

=0.509\times3\text{ feet}   [∵ 1 yard = 3 feet]

=0.509\times3\times 30.48\text{ cm}  [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

=46.54296\approx46.54\text{ cm}        (2)

The circumference of the elm tree = 6281.70 millimeters

=\dfrac{6281.70}{10}=628.17\text{ cm}          (3)

The circumference of the poplar tree = 0.000385 miles

=0.000385 \times5280\text{ feet}   [∵ 1 mile = 5280 feet]

=0.000385 \times5280\times30.48\text{ feet}  [∵ 1 foot = 30.48 cm]

=61.959744\approx61.96\ \text{ cm}              (4)

From (1) , (2) , (3 ) and (4) it is clear that

46.54< 53.9 < 61.96 < 628.17

Hence, the elm tree has the greatest circumference.

The pressure at sea level is 1 atmosphere and increases at a constant rate as depth increases. When Sydney dives to a depth of 2
mylen [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that pressure at sea level is 1 atmosphere and increases at a constant rate as depth increases.

We are provided two points as (0,1) and (23,3.3). To find function's formula we will find the line which passes through these points.

First of all we will find slope of this line.

Now we will find equation of this line in slope intercept form.

Our equation for this line will be .

Now let us write this for x as a function of p,

Therefore, our function's formula will be p(x) = 0.1x + 1.

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY 25 POINTS
Natalija [7]

Answer:

○ \displaystyle \pi

Step-by-step explanation:

\displaystyle \boxed{y = 3sin\:(2x + \frac{\pi}{2})} \\ y = Asin(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \hookrightarrow \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{4}} \hookrightarrow \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{2} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{\pi} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{2}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 3

<em>OR</em>

\displaystyle \boxed{y = 3cos\:2x} \\ y = Acos(Bx - C) + D \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow D \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow \frac{C}{B} \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow |A| \\ \\ Vertical\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Horisontal\:[Phase]\:Shift \hookrightarrow 0 \\ Wavelength\:[Period] \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{B}\pi \hookrightarrow \boxed{\pi} \hookrightarrow \frac{2}{2}\pi \\ Amplitude \hookrightarrow 3

You will need the above information to help you interpret the graph. First off, keep in mind that although this looks EXACTLY like the cosine graph, if you plan on writing your equation as a function of <em>sine</em>, then there WILL be a horisontal shift, meaning that a C-term will be involved. As you can see, the photograph on the right displays the trigonometric graph of \displaystyle y = 3sin\:2x,in which you need to replase "cosine" with "sine", then figure out the appropriate C-term that will make the graph horisontally shift and map onto the <em>sine</em> graph [photograph on the left], accourding to the horisontal shift formula above. Also keep in mind that the −C gives you the OPPOCITE TERMS OF WHAT THEY <em>REALLY</em> ARE, so you must be careful with your calculations. So, between the two photographs, we can tell that the <em>sine</em> graph [photograph on the right] is shifted \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{4}\:unitto the right, which means that in order to match the <em>cosine</em> graph [photograph on the left], we need to shift the graph BACKWARD \displaystyle \frac{\pi}{4}\:unit,which means the C-term will be negative, and by perfourming your calculations, you will arrive at \displaystyle \boxed{-\frac{\pi}{4}} = \frac{-\frac{\pi}{2}}{2}.So, the sine graph of the cosine graph, accourding to the horisontal shift, is \displaystyle y = 3sin\:(2x + \frac{\pi}{2}).Now, with all that being said, in this case, sinse you ONLY have a graph to wourk with, you MUST figure the period out by using wavelengths. So, looking at where the graph WILL hit \displaystyle [-1\frac{3}{4}\pi, 0],from there to \displaystyle [-\frac{3}{4}\pi, 0],they are obviously \displaystyle \pi\:unitsapart, telling you that the period of the graph is \displaystyle \pi.Now, the amplitude is obvious to figure out because it is the A-term, but of cource, if you want to be certain it is the amplitude, look at the graph to see how low and high each crest extends beyond the <em>midline</em>. The midline is the centre of your graph, also known as the vertical shift, which in this case the centre is at \displaystyle y = 0,in which each crest is extended <em>three units</em> beyond the midline, hence, your amplitude. So, no matter how far the graph shifts vertically, the midline will ALWAYS follow.

I am delighted to assist you at any time.

Explain the difference between simple interest and compound interest.
USPshnik [31]

Simple interest:

 Simple interest is simple. Each year, the interest is calculated as a percentage of the principal, as follows: Interest= (principal) x (rate) x (time).

Compound interest:

Compound interest<span> is calculated on the principal amount and also on the accumulated </span>interest <span>of previous periods.</span>
