Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that the side length is s. Imagine that one side is level. Draw a vertical line through the top vertex perpendicular to the base (level side). Label this vertical line "h." Then h and s are related as follows:

√3 h

sin 60 degrees = ------- = --------

2 s

s√3

and so h = the height of the triangle = -----------

The area of this triangle is (1/2)(base)(height), which here is:

(1/2)(s/2)( s√3 /2), or

(s^2)√3

A = ---------------

Answer:

a. it is arithmentic - this is because for each term there is a constant increase of 4, and the change between each term doesn't change

b. you need to find the nth term, by using the equation difference x n + 0th term: the difference is (+)4 and the 0th term is -9 (-5 is the 1st term, so to go one back we subtract 4 - the inverse operation), so the nth term is 4n -9. Now we do the inverse operation on 119 to see if it's a term (it is a term if it's an integer. So, first we do 119 plus 9 (inverse of - 9) to get 128, then divide it by 4 rather than multiplying. This gives us 32, and that tells us that 119 is the 32nd term of the sequence.

Answer:

slope = -2

y-intercept = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Find slope:

$\frac{3-9}{1-(-2)}$ = $\frac{-6}{3}$ = -2
