In a square all 4 sides are equal, so when you cut it along the diagonal to make a triangle, both the base and the height of the triangle would be the same.
The area of a triangle is found by the formula 1/2 x base x height
Since the base and height are the same the formula becomes Area = 1/2 x S^2 ( where S is the length of a side).
The area is given as 0.72 square units.
Now you have 0.72 = 1/2 x S^2
First multiply both sides by 2:
1.44 = S^2
To find S, take the square root of both sides:
S = √1.44
S = 1.2
The side length is 1.2 units.
First you gotta change it to a fraction, which would be 6/10 because it's in the tenths place. Now simplify it, which would be 3/5.
Answer:
Answer in terms of a trigonometric function :
Answer in figures
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the sketch attached below to better understand the problem.
Let x be the distance between point B and the base of the water tower.
From equation 2,
substituting the value of x into equation 1, we get
cross multiplying,
The height of the tower is in terms of the trig function "Tan"
The equation can simply be evaluated to get the answer in figures since the angles are given in the question
In order to find the answer you multiply 1360 by .15 and you get the answer of 204. So 204 students are absent.
15x^2 = 12x
divide each side by x
15x = 12
now divide each side by 15
x = 12/15 or 4/5 which is also 0.8
