see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
The equilateral triangle has three equal sides
so
in the equilateral triangle ABC
the height of the triangle is the segment BD
in the right triangle BCD
Applying the Pythagorean Theorem
solve for BD
substitute the values
therefore
<u>the answer is</u>
the height of the triangle is
Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets first start off with what we know. We know that if we have 26 trucks with a 4-ton payload each, we will be able to unload a freight train. In total, unloading a freight train will require a 104-ton payload because...
(26 trucks) x (4-ton payloads) = 104 tons
Since we know that a freight train can carry 104 tons, we can just do some simple math to figure out the rest of the problem.
(? trucks) x (6.5-ton payloads) = 104 tons
All we do now is divide 104 by 6.5 to get our answer.
104 / 6.5 = 16
Median is a middle value
So it is 28
I believe that the answer is A. If you need any help with how to show work I'd be happy to help you in the comments :0 hope this helps!
