You can make the equilateral triangle into a right triangle by cutting it in half. So, your sides would be 4.5, 9, and x.
Using Pythagorean Theorem, you know that a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

The 'a' would be equal to 9, and 9^2 is equal to 81.

B is equal to 4.5, and 4.5^2 is 20.25.

So, you have the following:

81 + 20.25 = c^2

And that makes 'c' equal to 101.25.
The square root of 101.25 is approximately equal to 10.06.

So now you know the height, 10.06.

I got 7.8 (rounding to the nearest tenth)
i used the smas formula but i got : (4.5*4.5+x^2=9*9)
so, 20.25+x^2=81
then, x^2= 60.75 (i got 60.75 from subtracting 20.25 from 81)
fonal answer: square root both sides

What is the inverse of f(x)=2^x

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=2^x$

$y = {2}^{x}$

$x = {2}^{y}$

${2}^{y} = x$

$ln( {2}^{y} )=ln(x)$

$yln(2)=ln(x)$

<h3> $\frac{yln(2)}{ln(2)} = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> $y = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3> ${f}^{ - 1} (x) = \frac{ln(x)}{ln(2)}$ </h3><h3>Hope it is helpful...</h3>

The ratio of the angles in a triangle is 5:9:10. what is the measure of the largest angle?

Maksim231197 [3]

The measure of the largest angle is 75 degrees.

<h3>What is a triangle? </h3>

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and vertices. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. Types of triangles include: right-angled triangle, isosceles triangle, equilateral triangle and scalene triangle.

<h3>What is the measure of the largest angle? </h3>

The measure of the largest angle = (largest ratio / sum of ratios) x 180

10 / 24 x 180 = 75 degrees
