Answer:

16√3 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of its all three sides. Since this is an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal.

Let's consider one side of the triangle to be 'x'

Givent that, the perimeter is 24cm,

The equation should be x + x + x = 24

⇒3x = 24

∴ x = 8 cm

To find the area of the triangle, we need to find the height, and for that, we can use trigonometry.

Since it is an equilateral triangle, all angles are exact 60°.

let's draw a line and mark it as 'h'.

we can use sine formula to find out the opposite i.e. h

sin∅ = opposite ÷ hypotaneous

sin 60° = h ÷ 8

h = 8 sin 60°

h= 4√3

Now, let's find the area

Area = 1/2 × base × height

Area = 1/2 × 8 × 4√3

area= 16√3 cm²

katovenus [111]

Answer: P = 1/12 = 0.083

Step-by-step explanation:

Out of the 12 girls, there will be only one that is the lead-off batter.

we can assume that this is the first being selected at random, then the probability that you will be the lead-off batter, is equal to the quotient between 1 (the outcome where you are selected) and 12 (the total number of outcomes)

Then the probability is:

P = 1/12 = 0.083

The fact that there will be an arrange of only 9 girls does not affect the probability of you getting the position of the lead-off batter.
