What is the length to the nearest tenth of the altitude of an equilateral triangle with a perimeter of 30 inches

1 answer:

3 0

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 = 8.6602540378

AveGali [126]

Here we have $400 originally and it is invested at an interest rate of 0.015 for 4 years.

Therefore we can say that the interest rate is 0.015 * 4 * 100 = 6% for the 4 years.

Simple interest is 6% / 4 = 1.5%.

And the principal is $400.
