If they are all a foot long then she should have 32 pieces of Chain
We know that
the distance from the centroid of the triangle to one of the vertices is the radius of the circle <span>required to inscribe an equilateral triangle.
[distance </span>centroid of the triangle to one of the vertices]=(2/3)*h
h=the <span>altitude of the equilateral triangle-----> 5.196 in
so
</span>[distance centroid of the triangle to one of the vertices]=(2/3)*5.196
[distance centroid of the triangle to one of the vertices]=3.464 in----> 3.5 in
the radius is equal to the distance of the centroid of the triangle to one of the vertices
hence
the radius is 3.5 in
the answer is
the radius is 3.5 in
The Pythagorean theorem formula for a triangle is A^2 + B^2 = C^2 where A and B are the sides and C is the hypotenuse.
The sides of the triangle shown are AB and BC and the hypotenuse is AC,
so the correct answer would be:
(AB)2 + (BC)2 = (AC)2, because 25 + 144 = 169
For this case we have the following system of two equations with two unknowns:
Adding both equations we have to eliminate the variable "x":
Adding common terms, keeping in mind that different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:
Answer:
Option A
