see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The equilateral triangle has three equal sides
so
in the equilateral triangle ABC
the height of the triangle is the segment BD
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
solve for BD
substitute the values
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the height of the triangle is
Green Line:
This is a horizontal line at x = 0, so it would be:
x ? 0
Since the shaded area is going to the left of 0 (this means x is negative):
x ≤ 0
Blue Line:
The shaded area is below the line, so:
y ≤ mx + b
When x = 0, y is -5.
y ≤ mx - 5
From each point, you go up 3 units, and to the right 4 units, so the slope is .
