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

Mathematics

Brut [27]3 years ago

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

Marlene rides her bike at a rate of 16 miles per hour. The time in hours that she rides is represented by the variable t, and th
Vesna [10]

Question is Incomplete; Complete question is given below;

Marlene rides her bike at a rate of 16 miles per hour. The time in hours that she rides is represented by the variable t, and the distance she rides is represented by the variable d. Which statements are true of the scenario? Check all that apply.

a. The independent variable, the input, is the variable d, representing distance.

b. The distance traveled depends on the amount of time Marlene rides her bike.

c. The initial value of the scenario is 16 miles per hour.

d. The equation t = d + 16 represents the scenario.

e. The function f(t) = 16t represents the scenario.

Answer:

OPTION (b) and (e) are the true statements.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

t=> time in hours that she rides

d=>  distance she rides

We have to find the statements that are true of the scenario.

Solution:

d=16t

The equation itself is a linear equation which presents an equation's scenario and time (t) is a independent variable and distance (d) is a dependent variable.

Equation for distance according to function is  f(t)=16t

Here, we can use graph tool, you can see the attested image below.

Function's domain is the interval⇒ [0,∞)

t\geq0

Function's range is the interval⇒ [0,∞)

f(t)\geq0

The statements which are TRUE are explained below :

b) The distance traveled depends on the amount of time Marlene rides her bike

It is true because as explained above that equation for distance according to function is  f(t)=16t

e) The function f(t) = 16t represents the scenario.

It is true because as explained that the scenario has been represented by the function above that f(t)=16t

* The statement (a) is false because the variable t is the independent variable.

* The statement (c) is false because 16 is been represented as the slope or the rate of the linear equation.

* The statement (d) is false because t = d + 16 donot represents the scenario.
