Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Plug in what we know.
78 = 1/2 × b × 9¾
Multilply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2...
156 = b × 9¾
Write 9¾ as an improper fraction.
(9¾ = 9 + 3/4 = (9×4)/4 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4)
156 = b × 39/4
Multiply each side by 4...
624 = b × 39
Divide each side by 39...
16 = b
Done! The length of the base of the triangle is <u>16</u> inches.
Sin 45° = opposite side / hypotenuse
1/2 = 8/h
h = 16
2)6/12 = 1/2
1/2 = sin 45°
6√3/12 = √3/2
√3/2 = cos 30°
Sum of angles of triangle = 180°
The 3rd angle = 180 - (45 + 30) = 180 - 75 = 105°
Angles = 30° , 45° , 105°
They are equal because of you simplify 80/100 by dividing by 10 u get 8/10
