ANSWER

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

EXPLANATION

The circumscribed triangle is shown in the attachment.

We use the cosine ratio to find the altitude of the isosceles triangle.

\cos(60 \degree)  =  \frac{altitude}{hypotenuse}

\cos(60 \degree)  =  \frac{altitude}{8}

Altitude =8cos(60°)

Altitude=4cm

Let the upper half of the altitude be y cm.

Then the radius of the circle is (y-4)cm

The upper radius meets the tangent at right angles.

From the smaller right triangle,

\sin(60 \degree)  =  \frac{4 - y}{y}

y\sin(60 \degree)  = 4 - y

y\sin(60 \degree)   + y= 4

(\sin(60 \degree)   + 1)y= 4

y=  \frac{4}{\sin(60 \degree)   + 1}

y = 16 - 8 \sqrt{3}

y=1.857

The diameter is 2y

d = 32 - 16 \sqrt{3}

=2(1.875)

The length of a Diameter is 3.714

Answer:

Diameter of the circle is 16 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The measure of a vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 120° and the length of a leg is 8 cm.

To find : The length of a diameter of the circle circumscribed about this triangle?

Solution :

We construct a circle in which an ABC isosceles triangle is formed.

Refer the attached figure below.

The measure of a vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 120° .

The length of a leg is 8 cm, AC=8 cm

Vertex angle is divided by the line touching the center of the circle.

So, \angle A=60^\circ and line AD=radius of the circle

Applying property of isosceles triangle,

Now, ∠DAC=∠ACD=∠CDA=60°

AC=DC=8 cm

The radius of the circle is 8 cm.

The diameter of the circle is twice the radius.

Therefore, The diameter of the circle is d=2(8)=16 cm.

However......
A number doesn't usually start with a 0 or 0s.
Therefore, if you want 3-digit numbers and not just permutations using 0 and 1, then you must eliminate
011, 000, 001, and 010
Seeing that the first digit can't be 0, you choose from 1, then 2, and then 2 digits again; 1*2*2=4 numbers
You choose which answer best suits your problem.

Step-by-step explanation:

salesperson receives a monthly salary of $2,250

commission of 4.5% on all sales compute

total pay for a month and when she sold $98,450 worth of appliances

total pay =  $2,250 + 4.5% of $98,450

             = $2,250 + $4430.25 = $6680.25
