Equilateral
equi means equal
lateral means sides

all sides are equal
triangle has 3 sides

perimiter=side1+side2+side3
side1=side2=side3


area=1/2 times base times height
base=side
draw a line down the middle of te tiangle so you get 2 right triangles side by side
1/2base is one leg
base is hypotonuse
height is unknown
equilateral means that it is a 30-60-90 triangle with  hypotonuse equal to 2x, height=x√3, bottom is x
1/2 times base times height=1959
1/2 times x times x√3=1959
multiply both sides by 2
(x^2)√3=3918
divide both sides by √3
x^2=3918/√3
square root both sides
x=47.5611
side=hypotonuse=2x
2x=2*47.5611
side=95.12222


legnth of each side is 2\sqrt{ \frac{3918}{ \sqrt{3} } }cm or about 95.12222 cm

How many times greater is 7 x 10^6 than 4.5 x 10^-1
kipiarov [429]

Let us assume that : 7 × 10⁶ is P times Greater than 4.5 × 10⁻¹

It means when we Multiply P with 4.5 × 10⁻¹, We should get 7 × 10⁶

⇒ (P × 4.5 × 10⁻¹) = 7 × 10⁶

\mathsf{\implies P = (\dfrac{7 \times 10^6}{4.5 \times 10^-^1})}

\mathsf{\implies P = 1.56 \times 10^7}

⇒ 7 × 10⁶ is 1.56 × 10⁷ times Greater than 4.5 × 10⁻¹

Two ropes are attached to a large ballon in a parade. The people holding the ropes are 40 feet apart,and the angle between the t
qaws [65]

Ropes are 9.63 meters ans 8.178 meters.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1 :

List all the given things

         Distance between people holding ropes = 40 =(40*0.3048) meters = 12.192 meters

         Angle between two ropes = 86 degrees

         Angle of elevation of one rope = 42 degrees

Step 2 :

Two angles of triangle are already given so third angle can be calculated as -  

            Third angle = 180 - ( 86 + 42 ) = 52 degrees

Step 3 :

As we know all three angles we will apply sine rule now, which is

\frac{a}{sine A} = \frac{b}{sine B} = \frac{c}{sine C}

Step 4 :

By putting values, we have

\frac{a}{sine 52} = \frac{b}{sine 42} = \frac{12.192}{sine 86}

Step 5 : Calculating a and b

a = 12.192 * \frac{sine 52}{sine 86}   ,   b = 12.192 * \frac{sine 42}{sine 86}      

Step 6 :

By putting values of all sine and calculating we get,

a = 9.63 meters and b = 8.178 meters
