What is the area of a triangle whose side is 17 meters long​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

125.141

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that this is an equilateral triangle, I am going to divide this triangle in half to get a right triangle.

17 is our hypotenuse

17/2 = 8.5, this is one of our legs

The other leg is our height, which we will find.

We use Pythagoras Theorem to find the height/leg: a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

17^{2} -8.5^{2} = 216.75

\sqrt{216.75} = 14.72243186

Now, we use another formula to find the area of the triangle: \frac{Base*Height}{2}

14.72243186 × 17 = 250.2813416

250.2813416 ÷ 2 = <u>125.1406708</u>

MrRissso [65]

Answer: The height of the telephone pole = $15.046

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Angle of elevation= 62 degrees.

Distance of Ben from the base of the pole = 8 feet

According to trigonometry, we have

\tan x=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{side adjacent to x}}

i.e.

\tan 62^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{ height of the telephone pole}}{8}\\\\(1.880726)=\dfrac{\text{ height of the telephone pole}}{8}\\\\\text{ Height of the telephone pole} = 8\times 1.880726\approx15.046

Hence, The height of the telephone pole = $15.046

Please help with this ASAP!!1
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

a. OM is congruent to ON.

Step-by-step explanation:

To use the HL Theorem, you must have a congruent hypotenuse and a congruent leg. In this case, you have two congruent hypotenuses. You just need to find two congruent legs.

a. OM is congruent to ON. This says that two legs are congruent, so this is your answer.

b. LM is congruent to ML. This does not help as it is saying a segment is the same as the same segment.

c. and d. Both of these use angle measurements, which does not help with the HL Theorem.

Hope this helps!
