see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides

so

in the equilateral triangle ABC

AB=BC=AC=16 units

the height of the triangle is the segment BD

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}

solve for BD

BD^{2}=BC^{2}-DC^{2}

substitute the values

BD^{2}=16^{2}-8^{2}

BD^{2}=192

BD=\sqrt{192}\ units

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the height of the triangle is \sqrt{192}\ units

Answer:

The height of an equilateral triangle will be =\sqrt{192}units

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 units that is MN=NO=OM=16.

Now, Let MD be the height of an equilateral triangle, then applying the Pythagoras theorem in triangle MDO, we get

(MO)^{2}=(OD)^{2}+(MD)^{2}

(16)^{2}=(8)^{2}+(MD)^{2}

256=64+MD^{2}

256-64=(MD)^{2}

MD=\sqrt{192}

Therefore, the height of an equilateral triangle will be =\sqrt{192}units.

What sum of money amounts to rupees 8700 in 3 years at the rate of 24 % per annum​
Zina [86]

Given:

Amount = 8700

Time = 3 years

Rate of interest = 24% per annum

To find:

The principal values.

Solution:

Formula for amount:

A=P\left(1+\dfrac{r}{100}\right)^t

Where, A is amount, P is principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the number of years.

Putting A=8700,r=24,t=3, we get

8700=P\left(1+\dfrac{24}{100}\right)^{3}

8700=P\left(1+0.24\right)^{3}

8700=P\left(1.24\right)^{3}

8700=1.906624P

Divide both sides by 1.906624.

\dfrac{8700}{1.906624}=P

4563.0391729=P

P\approx 4563.04

Therefore, the principal value is about 4563.04.

162 divided by [6 (7-4)^2 by the way the 2 is a exponent
r-ruslan [8.4K]
162/(6(7-4)^2)
pemdas
parenthasees inner first
so 7-4 is forst
7-4=3
162/(6(3)^2)
then exponents
3^2=9
162/(6(9))
multiplication
6 times 9=54
162/(54)=3
