The length of a side of an equilateral triangle is 40cm. what is the length of the altitude of the triangle?

Mathematics
1 answer:
podryga [215]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

20√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.

<u>Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:</u>

  • x² = 40² - (40/2)²
  • x²= 1600 -400
  • x²= 1200
  • x= √1200
  • x= 20√3 cm

<u>Correct choice is</u> the second one

A construction company purchased some equipment costing $300,000. The value of the equipment depreciates
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

11.9\ years  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The  formula to calculate the depreciated value  is equal to  

V=P(1-r)^{x}  

where  

V is the depreciated value  

P is the original value  

r is the rate of depreciation  in decimal  

x  is Number of Time Periods  

in this problem we have  

P=\$300,000\\r=14\%=14/100=0.14\\V=\$50,000

substitute the values and solve for x

50,000=300,000(1-0.14)^{x}  

(50,000/300,000)=(0.86)^{x}  

(5/30)=(0.86)^{x}  

Apply log both sides

log(5/30)=(x)log(0.86)  

x=log(5/30)/log(0.86)  

x=11.9\ years

The length of a rectangle is 3 times longer than its width. If the area of the rectangle is 24 square inches, then what is the p
NikAS [45]

Answer:  The answer is 16√2 cm.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with length 3 times than its width. We are to find the perimeter of the rectangle.

Let 'w' represents the width of the rectangle.

Then, its length will be 3w.

Also, area of the rectangle = 24 square inches.

Therefore,

3w\times w=24\\\\\Rightarrow 3w^2=24\\\\\Rightarrow w^2=8\\\\\Rightarrow w=2\sqrt 2.

So, width = 2√2 inches and length = 6√2 inches.

Thus, perimeter of the rectangle = 4√2 + 12√2 = 16√2 cm.
