Answer:

<h2>x = 5√3</h2><h2>y = 15</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the picture.

ΔABC, ΔDBA and ΔDAC are the triangles 30° - 60° - 90°. The sides are in ratio 1 : √3 : 2.

Therefore

<h3>in ΔDAC:</h3>

DC : AD : AC = 1 : √3 : 2

If AC = 10, then DC = 10 : 2 = 5 and AD = x = 5√3

<h3>in ΔDBA:</h3>

AD : BD : AB =  1 : √3 : 2

If AD = 5√3, then AB = 2 · 5√3 = 10√3 and BD = y = 5√3 · √3 = 5 · 3 = 15

Find a side of an equilateral triangle with a 12 inch altitude
saveliy_v [14]
Since the triangle is an equilateral triangle we know all of it's sides must be the same length, with that in mind the angles that make up the triangle must be equal as well. Knowing that a triangle's three interior angles make up 180 degrees we know that the size of each angle must be one third of this (as each angle must be equal).

180/3 = 60


then we may split the triangle along it's altitude into two special right triangles
more specifically two 30-60-90 triangles.

this means that the side with 30 degrees will be some value "x" where the side for 60 degrees will be related as it is "x*sqrt(3)" and the hypotenuse (which would be the side of the triangle) would be proportionally "2x"

this would mean that the altitude is the side associated with the 60 degree angle as such we can solve for "x" using this.

12= x*sqrt(3)
12/sqrt(3)=x
4sqrt(3)=x  (simplifying the radical we get "x" equals 4 square root 3)

now we may solve for the side length of the triangle which is "2x"

2*4sqrt(3) ->   8sqrt (3)  

eight square root of three is the answer.

What is the answer so i can pass
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

8/100 is equivalent to 0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The second digit place to the right of the decimal point is the hundredths place, so that is where the 8 belongs because it is 8/100 in fraction form.

Hope this helped :)
