Find the length of a side of an equilateral triangle given its altitude is six inches long.

An equilateral triangle has three 60 degree angles.
The altitude divides it into two 30 60 90 triangles.
The altitude is the "middle side" of such a triangle.
When that is the case, the middle side divided by the square root of 3 = the short side and multiplied by (2/sq root (3)) equals the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the side of the equilateral triangle. 
So, 6 * 2 / (sq root of 3) = <span> <span> <span> 6.9282032303 </span> </span> </span>

Find X<br><br> Options:<br><br> 6<br> 4 square root 6<br> 6<br> square root 146
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

For this case we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to find "x". Taking the rectangle triangle of base 5 we have:

x = \sqrt {11 ^ 2-5 ^ 2}\\x = \sqrt {121-25}\\x = \sqrt {96}\\\x = \sqrt {4 ^ 2 * 6}

By definition of power properties we have:

\sqrt [n] {a ^ m} = a ^ {\frac {m} {n}}

So:

x = 4 \sqrt {6}

Answer:

x = 4 \sqrt {6}

the eagle trucking company must deliver 7/8 ton of cement blocks and 5/8 ton of bricks how much will this load weigh?
Mademuasel [1]
This load will weigh 1.5 TONS ALTOGETHER.

So, the truck is delivering a \frac{7}{8} ton of cement blocks, and a \frac{5}{8} of bricks. To find how much this load weighs, we'd have to add the two fractions together, which proves to be quite easy, because the denominators are already the same, so we wouldn't have to change anything.

\frac{7}{8} + \frac{5}{8} = \frac{12}{8}

And now, we would want to convert that fraction into a whole number, or at least a decimal, to find how many tons the truck is carrying. So we would divide. Once the work is done, here is what would happen:

12 ÷ 8 = 1.5

And there's your answer. The truck is carrying 1.5 TONS.
