Answer:
15×4=60 and 3 people will be left without a group of 4
Answer:
A. EG = √3 × FG
D. EG = √3/2 × EF
E. EF = 2 × FG
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ tan 60 = √3
∵ tan60 = EG/GF
∴ EG/GF = √3
∴ EG = √3 × GF ⇒ A
∵ m∠F = 60°
∵ sin60 = √3/2
∵ sin 60 = EG/EF
∴ √3/2 = EG/EF
∴ EG = √3/2 × EF ⇒ D
∵ cos60 = 1/2
∵ cos60 = GF/EF
∴ GF/EF = 1/2
∴ EF = 2 × GF ⇒ E
I think its figure A but i am not sure.
