Answer:
Option C. 3√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo for brief explanation.
In the attached photo, we obtained the following:
Opposite = a
Adjacent = 3
Hypothenus = 6
Angle θ = 60°
We can obtain the value of 'a' as follow:
Tan θ = Opposite /Adjacent
Tan 60° = a/3
Cross multiply
a = 3 x Tan 60°
But: Tan 60° = √3
a = 3 x Tan 60°
a = 3 x √3
a = 3√3
Therefore, the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle is 3√3.
Answer:
B. 40 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
— Estimating
The rectangle enclosing the path has sides of length 9 m and 14 m, so its perimeter is 2(9+14) = 46 m. The distance covered will be shorter than that.
The distance from A to C is longer than the distance from D to C, so we know the distance will be longer than 2·14+9 = 37 m.
Only one answer choice fits in the range 37 < d < 46.
____
— Detailed calculation
The distance from B to C is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 9 and 12. You will recognize that these side lengths are 3 times the side lengths of a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the hypotenuse distance is 3·5 = 15 meters.
The circuit length is ...
AB +BC +CD +DA = 2 + 15 + 14 + 9 = 40 . . . . meters
Answer: y2-y1/x2-x1=-1-3/3-3=-4/0=undefined.
Step-by-step explanation:
So...
-2(16-4x)-8=6(x+2) Multiply
-32+8x-8=6x+12 Add like terms
-40+8x=6x+12 Subtract 6x from both sides
-40+2x=12 Add 40 to both sides
2x=52 Divide 2 from both sides
x=26 Substitute to check
-2(16-4(26))-8=6((26)+2) Add and multiply in parenthesis
-2(-88)-8=6(28) Multiply
176-8=168 Subtract
168=168
So x=26
I hope this helps! Have a great day!
