Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a base angle of isosceles triangle is 30°.We are also informed that one of the legs is 12. The altitude is opposite to the angle having a measure of 30°. The hypoteneous in the right angled triangle which is formed by drawing the altitude is 12. This will be calculated as:

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 30°=length of the altitude/12

Note that sin 30° = 0.5

0.5 = length of the altitude/12

length of the altitude = 12 × 0.5

Hence, length of altitude = 6

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

We already found x in a previous problem.

x = 6

The right triangle on the right side with sides x and y is also a 30-60-90 triangle.

The hypotenuse is twice the short leg.

x = 6

y = 2x

y = 12

densk [106]

Answer:

520 people in 2 hours

rate = 260 people per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

change minutes to hours

15 minute* 1 hr/60 minutes = .25 hrs

65 people      x people

---------------  = ------------------

.25 hrs            2 hrs


using cross products

65 * 2 = .25 * x

130 = .25x

divide by .25

130/.25 = .25x/.25

520 =x

520 people

65 people      x people

---------------  = ------------------

.25 hrs            1 hrs

using cross products

65 = .25x

divide by .25

65/.25 = .25x/.25

260 =x

260 people in 1 hour

rate = 260 people per hour
