Mathematics

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

Need additional math help 50 pts
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

This thing to know about this question is that angle 1 and angle 3 are actually the same.

When two lines intersect, the opposite angles such as that shown in 1 and 3 are equal to each other.

So what you can do is set angle 1 and 3 equal to each other like so:

5x+10 = 70

Then solve for x

5x+10 = 70

5x = 60

x = 12

What values of k will make the line containing points (k,3) and (-2,1) parallel to the line through (5, K) and (1,0)
rjkz [21]

Answer:

k = -4 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

For the lines to be parallel, the lines would need to be the same slope. This means to find the slope of each we would take the difference of the rise over the run.

\frac{1-3}{-2-k}=\frac{-2}{-2-k}

and

\frac{0-k}{1-5}=\frac{-k}{-4}

To find K, set them equal.

\frac{-2}{-2-k} = \frac{-k}{-4}\\-k(-2-k) = -2*-4\\2k+k^2=8\\k^2+2k-8=0

Factor the quadratic and solve for K.

(k+4)(k-2)=0

k+4=0 so k=-4

k-2=0 so k=2
