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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
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.

How would you do 5/12 multipled by 1/5 times 8
nirvana33 [79]

first you should go left to right when solving these equations:

5/12 ∙ 1/5

= 5/60

Then you multiply 5/60 and 8

5/60 ∙ 8/1        (8/1 is still a whole number. It makes it easier to multiply)

= 40/60 = 2/3

So, the answer is 2/3.

PLEASEE HELPPP! <br> what is the measure of
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not sure which measure you're talking about, but I'll show you what I did here:

A triangle = 180 degrees.

4x + 8x + 4x =16x

-8 - 1 - 3 = -12

180 = 16x - 12        -Add 12 to both sides

192 = 16x               -divide by 16 to get x by itself

12 = x

Angle A = 88 degrees (8 times 12 then subtract 8)

Angle B = 47 degrees (4 times 12 then subtract 1)

Angle C = 45 degrees (4 times 12 then subtract 3)
