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

What's 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4=​
Art [367]

Answer:

16  1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCD of 6 1/3 + 5 1/2 + 4 1/4 is 12; 12 is evenly divisible by 3, 2 and 4.

We can rewrite this expression as:

6 + 5 + 4 + 1/3 + 1/2 + 1/4, or

    15        +4/12 + 6/12 + 3/12, or

    15         + 13/12, or

     16  1/12

Suppose the total area is represented by the equation x^2+14x+24. If the area 1 is x^2 square units and area IV is 24 units, wha
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total = x^2 + 14x + 24

Area\ I = x^2

Area\ IV = 24

Required

True about area II and III

The question is incomplete; so, I will answer using general knowledge.

If the total area is:

Total = x^2 + 14x + 24

And there are 4 areas, then;

Total = Area\ I + Area\ II + Area\ III + Area\ IV

Rewrite as:

Total = Area\ I + Area\ IV+ Area\ II + Area\ III

This gives:

x^2 + 14x + 24 = x^2 + 24+ Area\ II + Area\ III

Collect like terms

x^2 -x^2 + 14x + 24 -24=  Area\ II + Area\ III

14x =  Area\ II + Area\ III

Rewrite as:

Area\ II + Area\ III  = 14x

<em>So, the sum of areas III and IV must be 14x</em>
