Find the area of the equilateral triangle

Mathematics
2 answers:
uranmaximum [27]2 years ago

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 =  -----------

                                                                       2

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 = ---------------

A rectangle sand box has a length of 5 and 1/3 feet and a width of 3 and 3/4 feet. What is the perimeter?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Perimeter of rectangle = ⇒ 18\frac{1}{6} feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of a rectangular sand box = 5\frac{1}{3}\ feet

Width of the box = 3\frac{3}{4}\ feet

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2(l+w)

where l represents length of rectangle and w represents width of the rectangle.

Substituting values given for length and width.

Perimeter of sand box = 2(5\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{3}{4})\ feet

Simplifying by adding fractions:

⇒  2(5+3+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4})\ feet (Adding whole numbers and fractions separately)

⇒  2(8+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4}) feet

Whole number 8 can be written as \frac{8}{1}

⇒  2(\frac{8}{1}+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{4}) feet

To add fractions we take LCD for the denominators 3,4,1.

LCD for 3 and 4 = 12 as its the least common multiple of 3,4,1.

Making denominators =12 by multiplying numerator an denominator with the corresponding numbers

⇒  2(\frac{8\times 12}{1\times 12}+\frac{1\times 4}{3\times 4}+\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3}) feet

⇒  2(\frac{96}{12}+\frac{4}{12}+\frac{9}{12}) feet

Then we simply add numerators.

⇒  2(\frac{96+4+9}{12}) feet

⇒  2(\frac{109}{12}) feet

⇒  2\times \frac{109}{12} feet

⇒  \frac{218}{12} feet

Writing fraction as a mixed number by dividing 218 by 12 and writing quotient as whole number and remainder as numerator with divisor as denominator.

⇒ 18\frac{2}{12} feet

Simplifying fractions to simplest form.

⇒ 18\frac{1}{6} feet

Perimeter =⇒ 18\frac{1}{6} feet  (Answer)

Whenever the population standard deviation is unknown, which distribution is used in developing an interval estimate for a popul
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The t-distribution is used.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we dont know the standard deviation of the population, we use the t-distribution(t-table).

Otherwise, the z-distribution(z-table) is used.

So the answer to this question is the t-distribution.

A town's population went from 25,800 to 42,600 in 15 years. What was the percent of changes?
melomori [17]
42,600 - 25,800 = 16800. That is the increase in 15 years.

You then calculate the increase as a percentage of the original population; 25,800.

16,800 / 25,800 * 100 = 65.11%

1) 1, 4, 16, 64, ...<br>CR=L<br>Next 3 Terms:​
avanturin [10]

Answer:

256, 1024, 4096.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule is x*4.

--> 1*4 = 4.

--> 4*4 = 16.

-->  16*4 = 64.

--> 64*4 = 256.

--> 256*4 = 1024.

--> 1024*4 = 4096.
