Find the area of an equilateral triangle (regular 3 Gon) with the given measurement 9 in perimeter a=SQ.in
1 answer:
Answer:
3.897
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

PS = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Composing functions means that the input of the outer functions is the output of the inner function.
In fact, you can rewrite the circle notation as
So, we can substitute g(x) with its expression:
And since f(x)=x+5, we simply have to add 5 to its input:
Similarly, we have, substituting f with its expression,
And since g(x)=4x+2, we have to multiply the input by 4 and add 2:
