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

Mathematics

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

What is the equation standard form of through (2,-4))and the slope is -4
Sloan [31]

Answer:

4x + y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of Line in point slope form is given as:

y - y_1= m(x-x_1)

Plug x_1= 2\: and\: y_1= - 4 in the above equation we find:

y - ( - 4) =  - 4(x - 2) \\  \\ y + 4 =  - 4x + 8 \\  \\ 4x + y + 4 - 8 = 0 \\  \\ 4x + y - 4 = 0 \\ \\ 4x + y = 4 \\this \: is \: the \: required \: equation.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Mean: 23. 54545455

Median: 22

Step-by-step explanation:

The median represents the center the most because when you are solving for the median, you look for the direct center of the terms which will be 22, the median.

HELP PLS Match each graph with the logarithmic function it represents
SIZIF [17.4K]

Each graph has been matched with the logarithmic function it represents as follows:

  • f(x) = 3 - 4In (x-2) = graph 3.
  • f(x) = 3 - Inx = graph 1.
  • f(x) = In(x + 1) = graph 4.
  • f(x) = 2In(x + 3) = graph 2.

<h3>What is a function?</h3>

A function can be defined as a mathematical expression which is used to define and represent the relationship that exists between two or more variables.

<h3>The types of function.</h3>

In Mathematics, there are different types of functions and these include the following;

  • Periodic function
  • Inverse function
  • Modulus function
  • Signum function
  • Piece-wise defined function.
  • Logarithm function

<h3>What is a logarithm function?</h3>

A logarithm function can be defined as a type of function that represents the inverse of an exponential function. Mathematically, a logarithm function is written as follows:

y = logₐₓ

In this exercise, you're required to match each graph with the logarithmic function it represents as shown in the image attached below:

  • f(x) = 3 - 4In (x-2) = graph 3.
  • f(x) = 3 - Inx = graph 1.
  • f(x) = In(x + 1) = graph 4.
  • f(x) = 2In(x + 3) = graph 2.
