If you look at the attached graphic, you will see that the altitude (or height) of an equilateral triangle is:
Height = side length * sq root (3) / 2
Area = side^2 * sq root (3) / 4
Answer:
no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
y = -3x +10
3x +y = 5
Substitute the first equation into the second equation
Let every instance of y in the second equation be replaced with -3x+10
3x+ (-3x+10) = 5
Combine like terms
10 =5
This is never true so there are no solutions
(These are parallel lines with the same slope but different y intercepts)
Answer:
similar triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, what are similar shapes? Well, two shapes are similar if you can turn one into the other by moving, rotating, flipping, or scaling. That means you can make one shape bigger or smaller. In this case, we know that triangles ABC and DEF are mathematically similar. The area of triangles ABC is , so we need to know the area of triangle DEF.
From math, let's call the scaling factor, so we know that for any similar figures, the ratio of the areas of any are in proportion to . In other words, if is the area of triangle ABC, and is the area of triangle DEF, then we can write the following relationship:
To write an equation you need a slop and y intercept. To find the slop use the formula y2-y1 /x2-x1. and for the y intercept use the formula y=mx+b
