Divide the perimeter by 3 to find the side length.
Since the formula for the are of a triangle is
1/2 * b * h the height must be found.
If a perpendicular line is drawn from the apex of the triangle, a right triangle is formed with a base of 5 and a hypotenuse of 10. Also since it originally was equilateral the base angle is 60 degrees. The rules for finding lengths of sides of equal. Triangles is long leg = sqrt3 * short leg
the height is the long leg so the height is 5sqrt3.
A=(1/2)(10)(5sqrt3)= 25sqrt3

Plz do have mercy and help me
Nikitich [7]
I have mercy:

8x and 9x+5 (the angles) form a right angle so 8x+9x+5=90 which means x is 5 and plugging it back into the angles 8x we get 40 sinceBHR and angle 8x are vertical angles they are equal to each other and so it's equal to 40

Order the fractions from least to greatest 6 3/4 6 1/2 6 5/6 6 3/8
Kay [80]

Answer:

[least] 6  3/8, 6  5/6,6  1/2, 6   3/4 [greatest]

Step-by-step explanation:

Common denominator- 48

27/4= 324/48

13/2=312/48

41/6=328/48

51/8=306/48

[least] 6  3/8, 6  5/6,6  1/2, 6   3/4 [greatest]

Hope this helps :D

A perpendicular bisector, , is drawn through point C on .
Liula [17]

Answer:

The x-intercept of CD is B(18/5,0). The point C(32,-71) lies on the line CD.

Step-by-step explanation:

the x-intercept of CD is[ A(3,0) B(18/5,0) C(9,0) D(45/2,0) ] . Point [ A(-52,117) B(-20,57) C(32,-71) D(-54,-128) ] lies on CD.

Given :

CD is perpendicular bisector of AB.

The coordinates of point A are (-3, 2) and the coordinates of point B are (7, 6).

C is the midpoint of AB.

C=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2},\frac{y_1+y_2}{2})=(\frac{7-3}{2},\frac{2+6}{2})=(2,4)

The coordinates of C are (2,4).

Line AB has a slope of:m_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{6-2}{7-(-3)}=\frac{4}{10}=\frac{2}{5}

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines is -1. Since the line CD is perpendicular to AB, therefore the slope of CD : m_2=-\frac{5}{2}

The point slope form of a line is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

The slope of line CD is -\frac{5}{2} and the line passing through the point (2,4), the equation of line CD can be written as:

y-4=-\frac{5}{2}(x-2)\\y=-\frac{5}{2}x+5+4\\y=-\frac{5}{2}x+9       .... (1)

The equation of CD is y=-\frac{5}{2}x+9

In order to find the x-intercept, put y=0.

0=-\frac{5}{2}x+9\\\frac{5}{2}x=9\\x=\frac{18}{5}

Therefore the x-intercept of CD is B(18/5,0).

Put x=-52 in eq(1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(-52)+9=139

Put x=-20 in eq(1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(-20)+9=59

Put x=32 in eq(1)

y=-\frac{5}{2}(32)+9=-71

Put x=-54 in eq1).

y=-\frac{5}{2}(-54)+9=144

Thus, only point (32,-71) satisfies the equation of CD. Therefore the point C(32,-71) lies on the line CD.
