Find the height of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 24
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the triangle is equilateral, it means that all the sides are the same. Since there are 3 sides in a triangle, each side is 24/3 = 8
Now, in order to find the height, we can use the pythagoeren theroem. Notice that the height bisects(splits the side) into two equal parts, which each part having the length 8/2 = 4
So we have

Answer:
(4,0) and (- 2,0): Answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value questions have two essential steps.
1. Solve the equation as it is written.
2. Solve it changing the sign of the right hand side. I will include a graph to confirm my answer
4*abs(x - 1) = 12 Divide by 4
- abs(x - 1) = 12/4
- abs(x - 1) = 3 Equate this to 3
- x - 1 = 3 Add 1 to both sides
- x - 1 + 1 = 3 + 1 Combine
- x = 4
4*abs(x - 1) = - 12 Divide by 4
- abs(x - 1) = - 12/4
- abs(x - 1) = - 3
- x - 1 = - 3 Add 1 to both sides
- x - 1 + 1 = -3 + 1
- x = - 2
So this has 2 answers
