<h3>Answer: A. 18*sqrt(3)</h3>

=============================================

Explanation:

We'll need the tangent rule

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(R) = TH/HR

tan(30) = TH/54

sqrt(3)/3 = TH/54 ... use the unit circle

54*sqrt(3)/3 = TH .... multiply both sides by 54

(54/3)*sqrt(3) = TH

18*sqrt(3) = TH

TH = 18*sqrt(3) which points to <u>choice A</u> as the final answer

----------------------

An alternative method:

Triangle THR is a 30-60-90 triangle.

Let x be the measure of side TH. This side is opposite the smallest angle R = 30, so we consider this the short leg.

The hypotenuse is twice as long as x, so TR = 2x. This only applies to 30-60-90 triangles.

Now use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(TH)^2 + (HR)^2 = (TR)^2

(x)^2 + (54)^2 = (2x)^2

x^2 + 2916 = 4x^2

2916 = 4x^2 - x^2

3x^2 = 2916

x^2 = 2916/3

x^2 = 972

x = sqrt(972)

x = sqrt(324*3)

x = sqrt(324)*sqrt(3)

x = 18*sqrt(3) which is the length of TH.

A slightly similar idea is to use the fact that if y is the long leg and x is the short leg, then y = x*sqrt(3). Plug in y = 54 and isolate x and you should get x = 18*sqrt(3). Again, this trick only works for 30-60-90 triangles.

tom takes a taxi to work. There is an initial fee of $2.20. Each mile is calculated at $1.50. If Tom's final cost for the taxi i

Fudgin [204]

Fee for distance = total fee - initial fee = 12.70-2.20 = $10.50

Now, for 1 mile = $1.50

for x miles = 10.50/1.50 = 7

So, tom travel 7 miles.

Change Y - 4X = 0 to the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

y=4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 4x to both sides to get y=mx+b

0 is y-intercept.

4x is the slope.

The perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/3 centimeters, find the length of the radius and apothem.

MAXImum [283]

There is a typo error, the perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/√3 centimeters.

Answer:

Radius = OB= 27 cm

Apothem = 13.5 cm

A diagram is attached for reference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/√3 centimeters.

Substituting this in the formula of perimeter of equilateral triangle = $3\times\ side$

$3\times\ side$ $=[tex]81\sqrt{3}$

$Side = \frac{81\sqrt{3} }{3} =27\sqrt{3} \ cm$

Thus from the diagram , Side $AB=BC=AC= 27\sqrt{3} \ cm$

We know each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°.

From the diagram, OB is an angle bisector.

Thus $\angle OBC = 30$ °

Apothem is the line segment from the mid point of any side to the center the equilateral triangle.

Therefore considering ΔOBE, and applying tan function.

$tan\theta =\frac{perpendicular}{base} \\tan\theta=\frac{OE}{BE} \\tan\theta=\frac{OE}{\frac{27\sqrt{3}}{2} } \\tan30\times {\frac{27\sqrt{3} }{2} }= OE\\\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } \times\frac{27\sqrt{3} }{2} =OE\\$

Thus ,apothem OE= 13.5 cm

Now for radius,

We consider ΔOBE

$cos\theta=\frac{base}{hypotenuse} \\cos30= \frac{BE}{OB} \\Cos30 = \frac{\frac{27\sqrt{3} }{2}}{OB} \\OB= \frac{\frac{27\sqrt{3} }{2}}{cos30} \\OB= \frac{\frac{27\sqrt{3} }{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} } \\OB =27 \ cm$

Thus for

Perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/√3 centimeters,

The radius of equilateral triangle ABC is 27 cm

The apothem of equilateral triangle ABC is 13.5 cm
