Answer:

3.897 in^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

equilateral triangles are also equiangular, meaning the have equal angles.

Triangle sum theory says that angles of a triangle add up to 180.

That means each angle is 60.

A = bh/2

You need the (h). The base of is 3.  Perimeter = 9, so each side is 3

Draw a perpendicular line for the height. The line cuts the base in half (1.5)

Using trigonometry you can find the height.

tan 60° = h/1.5

h = height, 1.5 is half of 3, 60° is the base angle.

multiply each side by 1.5

1.5(tan 60°) = h

h=2.598

then substitute h into formula

A= <u>(2.598)(3) </u>

           2

A = 3.897 rounded

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

∠ AFD = ∠ AFB + ∠ BFC + ∠ CFD

The 3 angles form a straight angle and sum to 180°, that is

4x + 5 + 6x + 3 + 5x + 7 = 180, that is

15x + 15 = 180 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

15x = 165 ( divide both sides by 15 )

x = 11

∠ CFD = 5x + 7 = 5(11) + 7 = 55 + 7 = 62°, thus

∠ AFE = ∠ CFD = 62° ( vertical angles are congruent )

the price of an item has increased 15% since last year. However l a person can buy the item for a 25%employee discount. The empl
Fiesta28 [93]

Let us assume last year the price of the item = $x.

After increase in price by 15% the new price = x + 15% of x = x+ 0.15x = 1.15x.

There is a 25% discount for employee.

25% of 1.15x = 0.25 × 1.15x = 0.2875 x.

Price after discount = 1.15x - 0.2875 x = 0.8625x.

The employee pays $172.50.

Therefore,

0.8625x = 172.50.

Dividing both sides by 0.08625.

\frac{0.8625x }{ 0.8625} =\frac{172.50}{0.8625}

<h3>x=200.</h3><h3>Therefore, last year the price was $200.</h3>
