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

Is there supposed to be a picture of the triangle?

You are in charge of the Annual Powder Puff football game. You designed a t-shirt to sell during the event. A company charges $7

We're looking for C(h), where h is the hundreds of shirts. The fact that they cost "$500 for each additional 100 t-shirt" tells us the slope is 500. Knowing that 1 hundred costs 750, we could use point-slope at this point: (C - 750)/(h - 1) = 500C - 750 = 500h - 500C(h) = 500h + 250 We can check that C(1) = 750 and C(2) = 1250, as we expect. I'll leave it to you to evaluate C(5).

Joe is placing tile in a small rectangular room. The room measures 8 feet by 5.5 feet. If one square foot tiles are sold in pack

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area, a of the room is 8* 5.5

a = 44 sqaure feet

one square foot of tiles are sold in packages of 12

To get the number of packages needed, simply divide the area of the room by 12

This gives:

44/12 = 4

= 3.67 round up to the nearest whole number

= 4

In a 45 45 90 right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 15/2 what is length on one of the legs

Nikitich [7]

Hi there!

For any 45 45 90 right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is always the square root of 2 times one of the legs.

To get the lengths of the leg, let's divide the length of the hypotenuse by the square root of 2.

We get the following:

$\frac{15}{ 2 \sqrt{2} }$

When simplifying fractions like this, we want to avoid having radicals on the bottom. In order to remove the radical from the denominator, let's multiply the numerator and the denominator by the square root of 2.

We get the following:

$\frac{15 \sqrt{2} }{4}$

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)
