Each side of an equilateral triangle = perimeter / 3.
Each side = 10 inches.
The altitude divides the triangle into two 30 60 90 triangles. The hypotenuse is 10 inches and the short side is 5 inches.
altitude^2 = 10^2 - 5^2
altitude^2 = 100 - 25
altitude^2 = 75
altitude = <span> <span> <span> 8.6602540378 </span> </span> </span>

Answer: Third Option

$x=1.469743$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following exponential equation

$3^{x+1}=15$

We must solve the equation for the variable x

To clear the variable x apply the $log_3$ function on both sides of the equation

$log_3(3^{x+1})=log_3(15)$

Simplifying we get the following:

$x+1=log_3(15)$

To simplify the expression $log_3 (15)$ we apply the base change property

$log_b(y)=\frac{log(y)}{log(b)}$

This means that:

$log_3 (15)=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}$

Then:

$x+1=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}$

$x=\frac{log(15)}{log(3)}-1$

$x=1.469743$

A school track is shown the straightaway on each side measures 1,000 meters the curves are semicircles with diameter 74 meters w

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

2232.48 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram:

Radius of semicircle = 74

Length of straightway on each side = 1000

The length of school track :

Straightway on each side = 2 * 1000 m = 2000m

Length of semicircle = πr/2

Length of both semicircle = 2 * 3.142 * 74 /2 = 232.47785

Total Length = ( 2000 + 232.47785) = 2232.48 meters
