If you look at the attached graphic, you will see that the altitude (or height) of an equilateral triangle is:
Height = side length * sq root (3) / 2
Area = side^2 * sq root (3) / 4

One leg of a right triangle measures 6 inches. The remaining leg measures 6√3 inches. What is the measure of the angle opposite

Simora [160]

30°
Here's why:
Using the well-known Pythagorian theorem we can reckon how long the hypotenuse is:
c^2=6^2+36*3 -> c=12
Knowing that sin(a)=a/c=6/12=0.5 the measure of the angle in degrees is 30°
Hope could help :)

why do whole numbers raised to an exponet get greater while fractions raised to an exponet get smaller

hoa [83]

Fractions are basically divisions.
Ex. 2/4 = 1/2

And whole numbers like 10, get greater when raised to an exponent.
Ex. 10^2 = 100

How do you illustrate quadratic equation in one varible?<br>

kvasek [131]

Answer:

A quadratic equation is an equation of the second degree, meaning it contains at least one term that is squared. The standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0 with a, b, and c being constants, or numerical coefficients, and x is an unknown variable. One absolute rule is that the first constant "a" cannot be a zero.
