you have to use intercept theorem, also known as Thales's theorem to slove this problem
Answer:
20√3 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.
<u>Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:</u>
- x² = 40² - (40/2)²
- x²= 1600 -400
- x²= 1200
- x= √1200
- x= 20√3 cm
<u>Correct choice is</u> the second one
For 31 you need 6% OF 50 meaning you need to multiply. 50*0.06=3. The answer for 31 is 3.
To find 33 you need to divide 1 by 0.4 to find how much you need to multiply 28 by. 1/0.4= 2.5 then you need to do 2.5*28 which would equal 70. The answer for 33 is 70.
To find 35 you need to notice that it DECREASES in meaning the bigger number (20) would be the denominator of the fraction and 15 would be the numerator. Therefore the fraction would b 15/20 or 75% of 20 would equal out to 15.
