Answer:

Option 3rd is correct

4\sqrt{3} square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter(P) and Area(A) of equilateral triangle is given by:

P = 3a

A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}a^2             ....[1]

where, a is the side of the equilateral triangle.

As per the statement:

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 12 feet

By definition of perimeter:

P = 3a

12 = 3a

Divide both sides by 3 we have;

4 = a

or

a = 4 ft

Substitute in [1] we have;

A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}(4)^2 =\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \cdot 16 =4\sqrt{3} ft^2

Therefore, the area of the equilateral triangle is,  4\sqrt{3} square feet

Which of the following is the inverse of f(x)=3-x/5?​
pshichka [43]

Answer:

-5x+3 OR 5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

You find the inverse by replacing the x with the y, and solving for y. Doing this actually gives you -5x+3 but in this case,  the closest answer would be 5x-3.

UPDATE: -5x + 3 can be written as 3 - 5x lol

Help solve 4 and 5 please
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4). a). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are congruent, then it must be a RECTANGLE.

b). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular, then it must be a SQUARE.

c). If the diagonals of a parallelogram bisect the angles of the parallelogram, then it must be a RHOMBUS.

d). If the diagonals of a parallelogram are perpendicular and congruent, then it must be a SQUARE.

e). If a parallelogram has four congruent sides, then it must be a SQUARE.

5). Given quadrilateral SELF is a rhombus.

a). All sides of a rhombus are equal,

   Therefore, ES = EL = 25

b). Diagonals of a rhombus bisects the opposite angles,

   Therefore, m∠ELS = m∠FLS

    3x - 2 = 2x + 7

    3x - 2x = 7 + 2

    x = 9

c). Diagonals of the rhombus bisect the opposite angles, and adjacent angles are supplementary.

m∠ELF = 2(m∠ELS) = 2(2y - 9)

m∠LES = 2(m∠LEF) = 2(3y + 9)

And 2(2y - 9) + 2(3y + 9) = 180

(2y - 9) + (3y + 9) = 90

5y = 90

y = 18
