Answer: The sides length are 8.32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

An equilateral triangle has all his sides of the same lenght, so we assume that the triangle has an L lenght in his sides.

The area of a triangle is Area = \frac{base * height}{2} where the base is L, the Area is 30 and an unknown height.

To determine the height, we cut the triangle in half and take one side. By simetry, one side has a base of \frac{L}{2}, a hypotenuse of L and a the unknown height.  

Then we apply the <em>Pythagoras theorem</em>, this states that <em>in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides</em>, or, hypotenuse = \sqrt{c^{2} + c^{2} } Where one c is \frac{L}{2} and the other is the height.

Then we find one of the c of the equation wich will be the height.

height = \sqrt{hypotenuse^{2}-base^{2} }

height = \sqrt{ L^{2} -\frac{L}{4} ^{2}}\\height = \sqrt{\frac{ 3L^{2}}{4} } \\\\height = \frac{\sqrt{3}L }{2}

Finally, we use the triangle area mentioned before an find the value of L.

30 = \frac{L*\frac{\sqrt{3}L }{2} }{2} \\\\L = \sqrt{\frac{120}{\sqrt{3} } } \\\\L = 8.32 cm

If a spring stretches 6 meters when a 7-kilogram weight is attached to it, how much will it stretch when a 42-kilogram weight is
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

 This is a simple proportion problems.

7 kilogram weight attache to a spring stretches  = 6 meters

 1 kilogram would stretch                                       =  6/7 m

Therefore 42 kilograms would  stretch                  = (6/7 x 42)meters

                                                                                 =  36 meters.

What is the solution of the system? use the substitution method. {y−2x=816 4x=2y the only solution is (24, 0) . the only solutio
Butoxors [25]
To determine the answer it would be helpful if we write this equation into the slope intercept form which is expressed as:

y = mx+b

<span> y−2x=816
y = 2x + 816

4x=2y
y = 2x

We can see that the slope of the two equations are the same. Therefore, they are parallel which means they do not intersect. The correct answer is the third option, there is no solution.</span>
