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

Help me find the solution set for 8x-3=2(x-1/2)
daser333 [38]
8x -3 = 2(x-1/2)
⇒ 8x -3= 2x -2*(1/2)
⇒ 8x -3 = 2x -1
⇒ 8x -2x= -1+ 3
⇒ 6x = 2
⇒ x= 2/6
⇒ x= 1/3

The final answer is x= 1/3~

Graph the function and find the range
kramer
The answer for the graph would be C. While x is less than or equal to 0, there is the graph of -4x. While x is greater than x, there is the graph of -5 (horizontal line). Furthermore, the closed dot at the end of the -4x represents the less than or EQUAL TO. The dot at the end of the -5 is open because it is only true when x > 0.

The range (y-values where the graph exists) is [-5]∪[0, infinity)
