What Properties or characteristics or similar triangles could be used to prove the Pythagorean theorem?

1 answer:

4 0

Well, in order to prove the Pythagorean theorem, every triangle you are using has to have one right angle (90-degree angle), and the side opposite to it will be called the hypothenuse. The remaining two triangles will be acute angles (<90 degrees), and the sides opposite to them are called sides/catheti.

Hello this is how you do it!<3

9/4 = 21/4 therefore, 9/4 = 21/4

24/10 try to reduce the numerator and denominator by a common denominator 24/10 divided 2/2 = 12/5

16/2 divided 2/2 = 8/1 = 8

Find the altitude of an equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18

Rainbow [258]

Answer:

3√3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the altitude of the equilateral triangle whose perimeter is 18 . Firstly let us find the side of the∆.

$\rm \implies a + a + a = 18 \\\\\rm\implies 3a = 18 \\\\\rm\implies a = 6$

Now we know that in a equilateral triangle , the altitude of the triangle with side length a is ,

$\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{\sqrt3}{2} a$

Plug in the value of a that is 6 , we will get ,

$\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2} a \\\\\rm\implies Altitude =\dfrac{ \sqrt3}{2}\times 6 \\\\\rm\implies Altitude = \sqrt3 \times 3 \\\\\rm\implies\boxed{ \bf Altitude = 3\sqrt3 \ units }$
