Answer:
The shortest altitude is 6.72 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the side lengths are
24 cm, 25 cm, 7 cm
The area of a triangle =
Where;
s = Half the perimeter = (24 + 25 + 7)/2 = 28
A = √((28×(28 - 24)×(28 - 25)×(28 - 7)) = 84 cm²
We note that 84/7 = 12
Therefore, the triangle is a right triangle with hypotenuse = 25, and legs, 24 and 7, the height of the triangle = 7
To find the shortest altitude, we utilize the formula for the area of the triangle A = 1/2 base × Altitude
Altitude = A/(1/2 ×base)
Therefore, the altitude is inversely proportional to the base, and to reduce the altitude, we increase the base as follows;
We set the base to 25 cm to get;
Area of the triangle A = 1/2 × base × Altitude
84 = 1/2 × 25 × Altitude
Altitude = 84/(1/2 × 25) = 6.72 cm
The shortest altitude = 6.72 cm.
Answer:
y = 167°
Step-by-step explanation:
The vertex of the triangle = 154° ( alternate angle to 154° )
The triangle has 2 equal legs so is isosceles with 2 base angles congruent
base angle = =
= 13°
base angle and y are adjacent angles, lie on straight line AB and sum to 180°
y + 13° = 180° ( subtract 13° from both sides )
y = 167°
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
the triangles are similar so will be the same proprotion,
I have attached a picture showing how I solved this. the second traingle is 3 times as large (15 by 12) compared to the first triangle which is 4 by 5.
