Answer: A =  (27/4)√3 in²


Explanation:


You are required to calculate the area, A, of an equilateral triangle, when you know its radius is 3 inches.


The radius of an equilateral triangle is the radius of the cirscumscribed circle.


The equilateral triangle has several characteristics which can be geometrically deduced:


  • Three congruent sides (by definition)
  • Three 60° internal angles
  • If you call the length of the sides x, and the radius of the circumscribed circle r, then:

       r = x √3 / 3 ⇒ x = r√3

       Area = [√3 / 4] x²

  • Combining the two previous relations, you deduce:

        Area = [3 √3 / 4] r²

By substituting the given radius, you find the area of the equilateral triangle:

            Area = [3 √3 / 4] x² = [3 √3 / 4] (3 in)² = 27√3 / 4 in²

Calculate the slope of the line through the points M(-2, -1) and N(0, -13).
galina1969 [7]

Answer:-6

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for slope, you have to do (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

in this problem, that turns into (-1-(-13))/(-2-0)

which is (-1+13)/(-2-0) which is 12/-2 which is -6, your answer

✎Question:Amirah is 4 years elder than Priya and Shirley is 2 years younger than Priya. If the sum of their ages is 47, find the
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 19

Shirley's age = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the age of Priya.

According to the question,

Amirah's age = x + 4

Shirley's age = x - 2

Their sum is 47.

So,

x + 4 + x + x - 2 = 47

3x + 2 = 47

3x = 47 - 2

3x = 45

x = 45/3

x = 15

So,

Priya's age = 15

Amirah's age = 15 + 4 = 19

Shirley's age = 15 - 2 = 13
