Answer : The correct option is, (B) 56.8

Step-by-step explanation :

Right Triangle Altitude Theorem:

The measure of altitude drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right angled triangle to its hypotenuse is the geometric mean between the measures of the two segments of the hypotenuse.

We are drawing a line from vertex to hypotenuse side.

As per theorem:

\frac{BD}{AB}=\frac{CB}{AC}

\frac{BD}{60}=\frac{175}{185}

BD=\frac{175\times 60}{185}

BD=56.8

Therefore, the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse is 56.8

An equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8.7 centimeters is shown. An apothem has a length of a and the radius has a length
shutvik [7]

Options A,B and D. The correction about the area of the triangle are

  • The apothem can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
  • The apothem can be found using the tangent ratio.
  • The length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.

<h3>How to solve for the length of the Apothem using the Pythagoras theorem</h3>

Firstly this is an equilateral triangle

3 of the sides have the length of 8.7cm

b = half of 8.7

= 4.35cm

To get A we have

a² + b² = c²

a² + 4.35² = 5²

When we solve this out we would have

a² = 25 - 18.9225

a ≈ 2.5 cm.

Hence we have proved that the first option is correct.

<u>For B,</u>

In an equilateral triangles, each of the angles = 60 degrees

60/2 = 30 is the angle that is made from the base

<h3>using tangent ratios </h3>

a / 4.35 = tan 30

then a = 4.35 tan 30

This would also give us an approximate of 2.5

For D

The calculations we have done based on the statements in A and B shows that D is correct as 2.5.
