Answer:

F. 12

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangle and we are asked to find the length of the altitude of our given triangle.

Since we know that altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into two 30-60-90 triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for the altitude of our given triangle.

\text{Leg}^2+\text{Leg}^2=\text{Hypotenuse}^2

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

(4\sqrt{3})^2+a^2=(8\sqrt{3})^2

16*3+a^2=64*3

48+a^2=192

48-48+a^2=192-48

a^2=144

Upon taking square root of both sides we will get,

a=\sqrt{144}

a=12

Therefore, the length of the altitude of our given equilateral triangle is 12 units and option F is the correct choice.

Answer

Find out the altitude of the equilateral triangle .

To proof

By using the trignometric identity.

tan\theta = \frac{Perpendicular}{base}

As shown in the diagram

and putting the values of the angles , base and perpendicular

tan 60^{\circ} = \frac{a}{4\sqrt{3}}

tan 60^{\circ} = \sqrt{3}

solving

\sqrt{3} = \frac{a}{4\sqrt{3}}

a = \sqrt{3}\times 4 \sqrt{3}

As

\sqrt{3}\times \sqrt{3} = 3

put in the above

a = 4 × 3

a = 12 units

The  length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle is 12 units .

Option (F) is correct .

Hence proved

IrinaK [193]
Answer: 1539.2nm

The space between molecule is going as X-1 function. That mean 1 molecule doesn't have space, 2 molecules have 1 space, 3 molecules have 2 space. Then 105 molecules will be will have 104 space.
Each space is 14.8nm, the total  distance would be: 104 space x 14.8 nm/space= 1539.2nm

If h (x) = -5x-7 then what is h (x-1) ?
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

h(x - 1) = -5x - 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Distributive Property

<u>Algebra I</u>

Terms/Coefficients

Functions

  • Function Notation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

<em>Identify</em>

h(x) = -5x - 7

<u>Step 2: Find</u>

  1. Substitute in <em>x </em>[Function h(x)]:                                                                          h(x - 1) = -5(x - 1) - 7
  2. [Distributive Property] Distribute -5:                                                                h(x - 1) = -5x + 5 - 7
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                         h(x - 1) = -5x - 2

Murljashka [212]

Answer:

  1300

Step-by-step explanation:

The number in the place to the right of the hundreds place is 5, in the tens place. That digit is greater than 4, so the rounding is to the next higher hundred: 1300.
