ANSWER

The length of the altitude is 3\sqrt{3} units


<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The altitude of a triangle is the vertical height of the triangle.


From the diagram the altitude is a


Method 1: We can use Pythagoras theorem to find a


6^2=a^2+3^2


6^2-3^2=a^2


36-9=a^2


27=a^2


We take the square root of both sides,

\sqrt{27}=a


\sqrt{9\times3}=a


\sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{3}=a


3\sqrt{3}=a


Method 2 Using Trigonometry

sin(60\degree)=\frac{a}{6}

6sin(60\degree)=a


a=6\times \frac{\sqrt{3}} {2}


a=3\sqrt{3}

Find the value of x<br> 12x<br> 6x+28<br> Your answer
Irina18 [472]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

By looking at the figure, the given "2x" and "6x + 28" are co-interior angle.

So,

2x + 6x + 28 = 180°. ( sum of co-interior angle is 180°)

8x + 28°=180°

8x = 180° - 28°

8x = 152°

x =  \frac{152}{8}

X = 19°

<u>There</u><u>fore</u><u>,</u><u> </u><u>X </u><u>=</u><u> </u><u>1</u><u>9</u><u>°</u><u>.</u>
