Picturing the tent helps, but we can actually solve this question using simple algebra and no knowledge of triangles.
The key is this function:
(b/h) = 2/√3
We want to get h by itself. First, multiply both sides by h:
b = h(2/√3) Now multiply both sides by the reciprical, (√3/2)
(√3/2) b = h
Therefore, the answer is C) h= b(√3/2)
Answer:
6/0
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Label your x and y's
(0,-11) (0, 5)
x1 y1 x2 y2
Step 2: Plug in your x1, x2, y1, and y2 into the slope formula
The slope formula is y1 -y2/ x1 - x2
-5-(-11)/ 0 = 6/0

The distance formula measures the length of a line segment or the distance between two points.
The hypotenuse is one of the two sides that forms the right angle of a triangle.
The altitude of a triangle is a line segment that extends from the vertex and is perpendicular to the side opposite the vertex.
Divide the larger one by the smaller one. 2.4 divided by 0.3 gives you 8. That means the scale factor is 8, or the larger triangle is 8 times larger than the smaller. We can prove this by multiplying 0.3 by 8 and getting 2.4
