Answer:

  A(x) = (24 -2x)√(6(x -6))

Step-by-step explanation:

Heron's formula for the area of a triangle in terms of sides a, b, and c is ...

  A = √(s(s -a)(s -b)(s -c))

where s is the semi-perimeter.

Here, we have s = 24/2 = 12, and a = b = x, c = 24-2x. So, the area is ...

  A = √(12(12 -x)(12 -x)(12 -(24 -2x)) = (12 -x)√(12(2x -12))

  A = 2(12 -x)√(6(x -6))

The solution to the inequality 5x - 4 &gt; 21 is represented by which number line?
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Start with the given inequality and solve it for x.

First, add 4 to both sides:  5x > 25

Next, divide both sides by 5:  x > 5

The solution (set) is x > 5.

A prism, bases of which are equilateral triangles, circumscribes a sphere of radius 6. What is the volume of the prism?
koban [17]

Answer:

  1296√3 cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the prism will be the product of its base area and its height. Since it circumscribes a sphere with diameter 12, that is the height of the prism.

The central cross section of the sphere is a circle of radius 6, and that will be the size of the incircle of the base. That is, the base will have an altitude of 3 times that incircle radius, and an edge length of 2√3 times that incircle radius. Hence the area of the triangular base is ...

  B = (1/2)(6×2√3)(6×3) = 108√3 . . . . . square units

The volume of the prism is then ...

  V = Bh = (108√3)(12) = 1296√3 . . . cubic units

_____

<em>Comment on the geometry</em>

The centroid of an equilateral triangle is also the incenter and the circumcenter. The distance of that center from any edge of the triangle is 1/3 the height of the triangle. So, for an inradius of 6, the triangle height is 3×6 = 18. The side length of an equilateral triangle is 2/√3 times the altitude, so is 12√3 units for this triangle.
