Answer:
173.2
Step-by-step explanation:
area of equilateral triangle = √3 / 4 l^2
so area =173.2
Answer:
6 units
Step-by-step explanation:
The distance between two points can be calculated with the formula

However, since (0, 2) and (0, 8) have the same x coordinate of 0, the distance between them is the difference in their y-coordinates.
Distance between (0, 2) and (0, 8)
= 8 -2
= 6 units
First, we are going to find the radius of the yaw mark. To do that we are going to use the formula:

where

is the length of the chord

is the middle ordinate
We know from our problem that the tires leave a yaw mark with a 52 foot chord and a middle ornate of 6 feet, so

and

. Lets replace those values in our formula:




Next, to find the minimum speed, we are going to use the formula:

where

is <span>drag factor
</span>

is the radius
We know form our problem that the drag factor is 0.2, so

. We also know from our previous calculation that the radius is

, so

. Lets replace those values in our formula:



mph
We can conclude that Mrs. Beluga's minimum speed before she applied the brakes was
13.34 miles per hour.
