Triangle ABC is equilateral. Find the height of BD

Mathematics
1 answer:
RideAnS [48]3 years ago
3 0

Since ABC is equilateral, all 3 sides have equal length. side AC is 8 units since side BC is 8 units.

Line BD is placed in the middle, making D the midpoint of side AC.

knowing this information we can determine that the length of DC is 4 units (half of AC)

since triangle BDC is a right triangle, we can use the side lengths in the pythagorean theorem to find the length of BD

a²+b²=c² where a & b = legs of triangle , and c= hypotenuse (longest side)

we are given the hypotenuse and found one leg so we can plug our values into the equation to find the third

4² + b²= 8²

16 + b² = 64

b² = 48

b = \sqrt{48}

b= 4√3 or about 6.928 units

hope this helped

The first inverse operation you would use to solve the equation 2+5x= -8 for x is subtraction. true or false?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

It would be True

Step-by-step explanation:

2+5x = -8

SUBTACT 2 on both sides and it would look like this:

5x = -8 - (2)

5X= -10

then DIVIDE 5 both side to get "X" ALONE,

x= -10/5

then divide -10 with 5

equal to:

x = -2

You prepare 10 scoops of dog food for 5 dogs, and prepare 16 scoops of dog food for 8 dogs. What
Svetllana [295]

Answer:

<em>12 scoops of dog food are needed for 6 dogs,</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Proportions</u>

The number of scoops of dog foods and the number of dogs are proportional variables.

We are given that 10 scoops of dog foods are used for 5 dogs. This gives a proportion of 10/5=2 scoops per dog.

We also know that 16 scoops are used for 8 dogs. The proportion is also 16/8=2 scoops per dog.

Thus, the constant of proportionality is 2.

For 6 dogs, you need to prepare 2*6 = 12 scoops of dog food.

12 scoops of dog food are needed for 6 dogs,
