Answer:

  • 56.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

As per diagram, the two triangles are similar, as all angles are congruent (one is vertical, one is right, one is the

Let the distance across the river be x.

<u>The ratio of corresponding sides is same. Find x using ratios:</u>

  • x/45 = 75/60
  • x = 45*75/60
  • x = 56.25 feet

Find the exact area of an equilateral triangle if the length of one side is 40
VARVARA [1.3K]
Equilateral triangle is a triangle with the 3 sides of the same length, and the 3 angles with the same measures/degree.
The formula to find the area of a triangle is base x height/2 , you do have the base (40), but you need the height. To find the height of an equilateral triangle you use the formula: side/2 x radical3, this way u'll find the height and therefor can calculate the area of the triangle.
Hope that helped :)

How do you find the missing height of a triangle?
g100num [7]

Answer:

Use the Pythagorean theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

The pythagorean theorem is a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} where a is a height, b is a height, and c is the hypotenuse, which is the longest side of a triangle. For example, if the triangle has two side with lengths of three and four we would put them into the equation to get:

3^{2} +4^{2} =c^{2}

Simplify the equation to get:

9+16=c^2

Add 16 and 9 to get 25 and take the square root of both sides:

\sqrt{25} =c

The sqrt of 25 is 5. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse, or c, is 5.

8) Find x if m m<br> i’m
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

The two angles with x in their numerical value are added to get 108

Solution

10x + 2 + 4x + 8 = 108                Collect like terms

14x + 10 = 108                             Subtract l0 from both sides.

14x + 10 -10 = 108 - 10                Collect like terms

14x = 98                                      Divide by 14

x = 98/14

x = 7
