Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle.Find the angle of rotation that maps A to B

Mathematics

The sum of the inner angles of any triangle is always 180°, i.e. you have


\alpha + \beta + \gamma = 180


In the particular case of an equilater triangle, all three angles are the same, so

\alpha = \beta = \gamma


and the expression becomes


\alpha + \beta + \gamma = \alpha + \alpha + \alpha = 3\alpha = 180


which implies \alpha = 60


So, if you rotate the triangle with respect to its center by 60 degrees, the triangle will map into itself. In particular, if you want point A to be mapped into point B, you have to perform a counter clockwise rotation of 60 degrees with respect to the center of the triangle.


Of course, this is equivalent to a clockwise rotation of 120 degrees.


Finally, both solutions admit periodicity: a rotation of 60+k360 degrees has the same effect of a rotation of 60 degrees, and the same goes for the 120 one (actually, this is obvisly true for any rotation!)

A study of parents of kindergarteners included 349 parents who were chosen at
miskamm [114]

Answer:

47% is the statistic and 31% is the parameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parameter is a quantity of a variable representing certain characteristic of a population.

A statistic is a quantity of a variable representing certain characteristic of a sample.

The sample of parents of kindergartners selected is, <em>n</em> = 345.

The School records show that only 31% of parents of kindergartners sent their children to pre-kindergarten.

That is the population proportion is, <em>p</em> = 0.31.

This is the parameter value.

Of the 349 parents, 47% said they sent their children to pre-kindergarten.

That is the sample proportion is, \hat p = 0.47.

This is the statistic value.

Thus, the correct option is:

47% is the statistic and 31% is the parameter.

kelly wants to build a pacman shaped pool in her back yard pictured to the right (3/4 of a circle). she needs to have a gate aro
Andreas93 [3]
You need to find the circumference of the whole circular pool and then subtract from it the arc length that is 1/4 of the circumference.  The circumference formula is C = (3.14)(d), which in our case is 3.14(40) which is 125.6.  Now we need the arc length we need to take away.  1/4 of a circle corresponds to a 90 degree angle, so in the formula for arc length, we have this: \frac{90}{360} (3.14)(40) which equals 31.4.  Now subtract that from the circumference of the whole circle and you get the outside of the circle minus that arc length.  That's 94.2.  But we have to go in the radius times 2 to enclose the pie shaped piece we cut away.  So we have 134.2.  She should've just stuck with enclosing the circle; she would have used less fencing!
