8 0

Answer:

455ways

Step-by-step explanation:

This is expressed as 15 C 3 ( C- combination)

The concept of combination is used when we talk about selection.

Now we are selecting 3 from a sample of 15

15 C 3 = 15! / (15-3)! 3! = 15 ×14×13×12!/12!×3×2

= 5 × 7 × 13 = 455ways

triangle MNO is an equilateral triangle with sides measuring 16 units What is the height of the triangle?

fiasKO [112]

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The equilateral triangle has three equal sides

in the equilateral triangle ABC

$AB=BC=AC=16 units$

the height of the triangle is the segment BD

in the right triangle BCD

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$BC^{2} =BD^{2}+DC^{2}$

solve for BD

$BD^{2}=BC^{2}-DC^{2}$

substitute the values

$BD^{2}=16^{2}-8^{2}$

$BD^{2}=192$

$BD=\sqrt{192}\ units$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the height of the triangle is $\sqrt{192}\ units$
