An equilateral triangle has three 60 degree angles.
The altitude divides it into two 30 60 90 triangles.
The altitude is the "middle side" of such a triangle.
When that is the case, the middle side divided by the square root of 3 = the short side and multiplied by (2/sq root (3)) equals the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse is the side of the equilateral triangle.
So, 6 * 2 / (sq root of 3) =

Answer:
√85
Step-by-step explanation:
for this, you will probably need to draw a graph. Plot the points, and then you will notice that you can draw a triangle with one side being the x-axis ( go on to (-6,0) then drop down unitll you hit the point (-6;-7)
// use the pythagoream theorem to find the length
the distance of the leg on the x-axis is 6 (calculate 0-(-6))
the distance of the leg that is dropping down is -7 (calculate 0-(-7))
then we have 2 legs and need to find the hypotenuse.
Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2
substitute :
6^2 + 7^2 = c^2
36+49 = 85
c= √85

Area of a triangle= bh/2b=4in h=8in8x4/2=16in
there are 4 triangles
4x16=64
area of a rectangle=bh
4x4=16
64+16=80in^2
