Inside a square with side length 10, two congruent equilateral triangles are drawn such that they share one side and each has on
e vertex on a vertex of the square. What is the side length of the largest square that can be inscribed in the space inside the square and outside of the triangles?
1 answer:
Answer:
5 length
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram attached shows two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE. Since both squares share one side of the square BDFH of length 10, then their lengths will be 5 each. To obtain the largest square inscribed inside the original square BDFH, it makes sense to draw two other equilateral triangles AGH & EFG at the upper part of BDFH with length equal to 5.
So, the largest square that can be inscribe in the space outside the two equilateral triangles ABC & CDE and within BDFH is the square ACEG.

There should be a point the line is going through, (1,2).
We have given that,
N55.60 for 1yr 6 months at the rate of 2%
We have to determine the principal which will yield simple interest of N55.60 for 1yr 6 months at the rate of 2%.
<h3>What is the simple interest?</h3>
A = final amount
P = initial principal balance
r = annual interest rate
t = time (in years)
x = inches
y = miles
per 1 inch = 2 miles
so on the graph, there should be a point the line is going through, (1,2).
