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

Answer:

(x+3)^2=-4(y-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

(x-h)^2 = 4p(y-k)

P is the distance between the focus and vertex

P = 1 --> used distance formula for the points of -3,2 -3,3

Vertex is -3,3 --> according to picture

(x+3)^2=-4(y-3)

P is negative since it goes downwards in the picture.

Answer:

m < EAD = 29 degrees

m < CAB = 119 degrees

Given :

The question states that m < CAE = m<FAB = 61 degrees and m<DAF = 90 degrees

Solution:

1. Since line CAF and EAB intersect each other, m<CAF = m< EAF - (opposite vertical angles are equivalent)

2. m<BAC + m<EAC = 180 degrees (sum of linear pair)

3. m<CAB = 180 degrees - m<EAC

4. Equation 1: m<CAB = m<EAF = 119 degrees

5. m<EAF = m<EAD + m< DAF

6. m<EAD = m<EAF - m<DAF

7. m<EAD = 119 degrees-90 degrees = 29 degrees

Hope this helps!!! :)

Answer:

Answers are below in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A = 1/2bh          Use this equation to find the area of each triangular base

A = 1/2(8)(6)         Multiply

A = 1/2(48)           Multiply

A = 12cm²           Area of each triangular base

2) A = L x W        Use this equation to find the area of the bottom rectangular face

A = 20 x 8          Multiply

A = 160 cm²       Area of the bottom rectangular face

3) A = L x W        Use this equation to find the area of the back rectangular face

A = 20 x 6          Multiply

A = 120 cm²       Area of the back rectangular face

4) A = L x W        Use this equation to find the area of the sloped rectangular face

A = 20 x 10         Multiply

A = 200 cm²      Area of the sloped rectangular face

5) To find the total surface area of the triangular prism, add together all of the numbers.

A = 12 + 12 + 160 + 120 + 200       Add

A = 504 cm²       Total area of the triangular prism
