Each side of an equilateral triangle measures 9cm. Find the height, h, of the triangle.

2 answers:

4 0

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

If a 200 N net force acts on a 500 grams car, what will the acceleration of the car be?

ladessa [460]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

Step-by-step explanation:

The acceleration of the car can be found using Newton second law:

$F = ma$

Where:

F: is the net force = 200 N

m: is the mass = 500 g

a: is the acceleration =?

Then, the acceleration will be:

$a = \frac{F}{m} = \frac{200 N}{500 g*\frac{1 kg}{1000 g}} = 400 m/s^{2}$

Therefore, the acceleration of the car will be 400 m/s².

I hope it helps you!

Can anyone math experts help and guide me through these questions❓

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

$a {}^{3}$

where a is the side length,

Note: If you want to remember this formula, know that a cube is basically a bunch of squares stacked on one another vertically and horizontally

The area of a square with side length a, is

${a}^{2}$

If we multiply that by the height of the cube, which is a.

${a}^{2} \times a = {a}^{3}$

That is the easy way to derive the formula of the volume of a cube.

Back on track, we know the volume so we must solve for a.

$125 = {a}^{3}$

Assuming you took algebra, to isolate the variable a, we must undo it being raised to the third power.

To do this, we take the cube root of both sides

$\sqrt[3]{125} = \sqrt[3]{a {}^{3} }$

The cube root of 125 is 5 so

$5 = a$

5 cm

$8 = {a}^{3}$

$\sqrt[3]{8} = \sqrt[3]{ {a}^{3} }$

$2 = a$

2 ft

$343 = {a}^{3}$

$a = 7$

7 yd

$1000 = a {}^{3}$

$10 = a$

10 mm

$1728 = {a}^{3}$

$a = 12$

12 in. or 1 ft

$1 = {a}^{3}$

$a = 1$

1 m

Marshall left home biking at a constant rate of 20 mph. One hour later, it looked like it may rain, so his friend, Brett, set ou

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

First, we need to find how far ahead Marshall was. Since he had been biking at 20 mph for one hour, he had gone 20 miles.

Next, we need to find how long it will take Brett to catch up to Marshall. In order to do this, we need to find how much faster Brett is going than Marshall. We do this by subtracting Marshall's speed from Brett's speed.

60 - 20 = 40. So, Brett is catching up to Marshall at 40 mph. Now, we figure out how long it will take for someone going 40 miles per hour to go 20 miles. We find this by dividing 40 miles per hour by 20. This is equal to 1/2 hour. So, it will take Brett 0.5 hours to catch up to Marshall. This is the same as A, so A is the correct answer.

We can check our answer by seeing how far Marshall and Brett will have gone. Marshall will have been biking for 1.5 hours, so we multiply 20 * 1.5 = 30. Marshall went 30 miles.

Brett drove for .5 hours at 60 mph, so he went 30 miles. Since Brett and Marshall went the same distance, our answer is correct.
