In a square all 4 sides are equal, so when you cut it along the diagonal to make a triangle, both the base and the height of the triangle would be the same.


The area of a triangle is found by the formula 1/2 x base x height

Since the base and height are the same the formula becomes Area = 1/2 x S^2 ( where S is the length of a side).

The area is given as 0.72 square units.

Now you have 0.72 = 1/2 x S^2

First multiply both sides by 2:

1.44 = S^2

To find S, take the square root of both sides:

S = √1.44

S = 1.2

The side length is 1.2 units.

OLga [1]

Answer: b. histogram

Step-by-step explanation:

A histogram is a graphical summary of data previously summarized in a frequency distribution. It is an accurate representation of the distribution of numerical data, the height of each bar shows how many fall into each range(the frequency of each range). Data from a frequency distribution table can be easily summarised graphically on a histogram.

An example of histogram is shown in the attachment

Please answer please
Luda [366]

Answer:

46°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the 3 sides are given we can use any of the 3 trig. ratios to solve.

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan ? = \frac{opposie}{adjacent} = \frac{42}{40}, thus

? = tan^{-1} (\frac{42}{40} ) ≈ 46° ( to the nearest degree )
