2) Find the height (to the nearest tenth) of an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 8 cm.

Answer: the height of the equilateral triangle is 6.9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In an equilateral triangle, all the sides are equal. Also all the angles are equal and each angle is 60 degrees. The bisectors of each of the angles would meet at the center of the triangle and each bisector divides the triangle into 2 equal right angle triangles as shown in the attached photo.

To determine h, the height of the equilateral triangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

8² = h² + 4²

64 = h² + 16

h² = 64 - 16 = 48

h = √48 = 6.9cm to the nearest tenth.

If p(x)=x^3-3x^2-x+3 and p(3)=0, what is a factor of p(x)
IRISSAK [1]
<h3>Answer:   x-3</h3>

Since p(3) = 0, this means x = 3 plugs into p(x) to get 0

We can write p(x) as p(x) = (x-3)q(x) where q(x) is some other polynomial that multiplies with (x-3) to lead to x^3-3x^2-x+3

Let's plug in x = 3 and see what happens

p(x) = (x-3)q(x)

p(3) = (3-3)q(3)

p(3) = 0*q(3)

p(3) = 0

No matter what the result of q(3) was, it doesn't matter because it multiplies with 0 to get 0.

The general rule is: if p(k) = 0, then x-k is a factor of p(x). This is a special case of the remainder theorem.

What is the base of a regular hexagon
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
If you already know the length of a side, then you can simply write it down; in this case, the length of a side is 9 cm. If you don't know the length of a side but know the length of the perimeter or apothem (the height of one of the equilateral triangles formed by the hexagon, which is perpendicular to the side), you can still find the length of the side of the hexagon. Here's how you do it:
If you know the perimeter, then just divide it by 6 to get the length of one side. For example, if the length of the perimeter is 54 cm, then divide it by 6 to get 9 cm, the length of the side.
If you only know the apothem, you can find the length of a side by plugging the apothem into the formula a = x√3 and then multiplying the answer by two. This is because the apothem represents the x√3 side of the 30-60-90 triangle that it creates. If the apothem is 10√3, for example, then x is 10 and the length of a side is 10 * 2, or 20.

Isabella borrowed $8000 at a rate of 14%, compounded quarterly. Assuming that she makes no payments, how much will she oh after
Cloud [144]

Answer:

$12,088.55

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for compounded interest is A = P(1+r/n)^n(t)

A= final amount

P = initial amount

r = rate of interest

n = amount of times it is compounded

t = time or amount of years

In this case n=4 because you are compounding quarterly which is 4 times a year and t will be 3 because you are looking for the amount after 3 years. r is .14 because 14% is .14 in decimal form.
