An equilateral triangle has an apothem of 5cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle to the nearest centimeter

1 answer:

5 0

The apothem is the distance from which the altitudes of the triangle to one of its sides. It can be calculated through the equation below,
tan 30° = apothem / 0.5(length of side)
Substituting the known values,
tan 30° = 5 / 0.5x
The value of x from the equation above is 17.32. Multiplying this value by 3 (because a triangle has 3 sides), we get an answer of 51.96 cm or approximately equal to 52. Thus, the answer is letter B.

Ha. That looks alot like i-ready. (i-ready sucks butt.)

But the horror that is i-ready aside, your answer is the third one : The proportion of grandparents that feel safe entering their account information online is 0.32.

32% converted to a decimal is 0.32, and 68% converted to a decimal is 0.68. That would mean that the proportion for grandparents that feel safe doing so is 0.32, and the number of grandparents that don't feel safe doing so is 0.68.

PLEASE PLEEEASE HELP ME IM BEGGING YOU WITH ALL MY HEART YOU GET 20 POINTS Solve for m:(m-4)^3 = (1/8)^-1

You can simplify the right side. Then, you need to take cube roots.
(m -4)³ = 1/(1/8) . . . rule of exponents
(m -4)³ = 8 . . . . . . .simplify
m -4 = ∛8 . . . . . . . take cube roots
m -4 = 2 . . . . . . . . use your calculator or knowledge to find ∛8
m = 6 . . . . . . . . . . add 4

The solution is m = 6.

_____
If you subtract the right side, you get a function of m that is zero when m has the right value. This graph shows that value is m = 6.
