An equilateral triangle has an altitude of 15 m. What is the perimeter of the triangle?

we know that

In the equilateral triangle every sides and angles are equal 

so

the measure of internal angles is equal to 60 degrees 

see the attached picture to better understand the problem

In the right triangle ABC

sin 60=BC/AB

where

BC is the altitude (opposite side angle 60 degrees

AB is the hypotenuse

Clear AB

AB=BC/sin 60\\ AB=15/(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}  )\\ AB=30/\sqrt{3}m

Perimeter of the triangle is equal to

P=AB+BD+AD

but remember that

AB=BD=AD

so

P=3*AB\\ P=3*\frac{30}{\sqrt{3}}  \\ \\ P=\frac{90}{\sqrt{3}}  \\ \\ P=30\sqrt{3} m

therefore

the answer is

30\sqrt{3} m

Equilateral triangle mean every sides and angles are equal 
so the measure of angles is 60 degrees 
 given that has an altitude of 15 m so this mean that 

sin 60 = altitude / hypotenuse 

sqrt3 /2 = 15/hyp.

hyp. = 15/(sqrt3 /2)

hyp. = 30/sqrt3 = 30sqrt3 / 3 = 10sqrt3

so in this way ve got that a side length is equal 10sqrt3 and the perimeter 

P = 3*10sqrt3 

P = 30sqrt3 m  so the 3rd choice is right,correct sure 

hope helped

Answer:

r = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=m

(r,7)=(x1,y1) and (3,4)=(x2-y2) and m=-3/5

so plug in...

(4-7)/(4-r)=-3/5

then solve for r which will get that r = -1

numerator: 4-7=-3

denominator: 4-r=5 -> 4-5=0+r -> -1=r
