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

Smoothing a time series of observations A. is a form of statistical cheating. B. allows statisticians to use less data than woul
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

D. is used to reveal an underlying pattern in the data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Smoothing a time series is achieved when a computer uses some pre-programmed calculation methods to remove noise from large volumes of data. Smoothing helps a user detect patterns in a set of data, thus making it possible to make future predictions. For example, smoothing can be used in the prediction of the rise and fall of stock prices. This helps the traders to have an idea of what to expect in the cost of trading.

Although smoothing reveals the patterns in a set of data, it provides no explanation as to why it is so. It is left to the researcher to draw conclusions as to the reasons for the patterns.

Six customers enter a gift shop during a 3-hour period. On average there are 0.25 customers in the gift shop and each spends 7.5
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

6 is most directly associated with the flow rate of customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason:

0.25 is the number of customers in the gift shop at a given point of time is WIP inventory

7.5 is the average time spent by customer in the shop and it is the throughput time.

Flow rate = WIP inventory/Throughput time

=0.25/7.5

= 0.0333 per minute = 2 per hour or 6 per 3 hour as given in question.

What are the solutions to –2|x| = –6?<br><br> Show your work please
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

✦ Divide by -2 on each side:

  ✧ -2 / -2 = Cancels Out

  ✧ -6 / -2 = 3

So x would be 3, -3.

- |x| Just means absolute value. Which in short just means if it's negative it becomes positive.
