i think b not to sure wait for more answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Well , i took a while to understand the question , lol . I guess the answer is. 7 students
There are a couple ways to determine the number of minutes it will take Charlie to run 9 laps, but the easist would be to find out what is happening to each number of laps in order to get the number of minutes. In each case, the number of laps is being multiplied by 5 to get the number of minutes.
9x5=45 minutes.
He is running each lap in 5 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
(You might need to draw the triangle on a piece of paper to follow)
First I tried to find the height in terms of<em> a</em>.
If you draw the height in, the triangle is cut in half. That half triangle is a right triangle.
Using the Pythagoras theorem you can find out the height. Since you know that the hypotenuse is also <em>a </em>(because it's an equilateral triangle) the equation would be:
(a/2)² + h² = a²
Assuming that h = height
(It's a/2 because when you cut the triangle in half, the base of the right triangle became a/2)
This equation is simplified:
a²/4 + h² = a²
a² + 4h = 4a²
4h = 3a²
h² = 3a²/4
Now, remeber that everything is squared so it should be
h = a√3/2
Now we have the height. To get the area we need to multiply it by the base, which is <em>a, </em>and then divide it by 2<em>.</em>
a√3/2 × a ÷ 2
a²√3/2 ÷ 2
a²√3/4
And there you go. Thats the area.
