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

2/3x - 1/2y = 3
Blizzard [7]
2/3x - 1/2y = 3      |multiply both sides by 6
4x - 3y = 18

1/2x + y = 5      |multiply both sides by 2
x + 2y = 10

Answer: B) 4x - 3y = 18 and x + 2y = 10

Select the locations on the number line to plot the points 9/2 and −7/2 .
myrzilka [38]
To plot these points on the number line, you should label the long lines on the number line as such starting from the left (-5-already there, -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4,5-already there).

Now take each number and convert the improper fraction into a mixed number. 9/2 = 4 1/2 and -7/2 = -3 1/2.

4 1/2 would plotted on the line exactly in between the 4 and 5.

-3 1/2 would be plotted on the line exactly halfway between -3 and -4.

You will draw a dot to show each of these positions on a number line.
