Answer:

27mi

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sailing course is equilateral in shape, then all their sides are equal.

Get one of the sides using Pythagoras theorem as shown;

Let one of the side be x

Two base will be x/2

According to the theorem;

x² = 9² +(x/2)²

x² = 81 + x²/4

x²-x²/4 = 81

3x²/4 = 81

3x² = 324

x² = 324/4

x² = 81

x = 9

Perimeter of the triangle = 3x

Perimeter of the triangle = 3(9)

Perimeter of the triangle = 27mi

Illusion [34]
The statement "unit cubes with side lengths of 1/2 foot are added to fill the prism with no space remaining" is useless information so you can disregard that. All you need to know to calculate the volume is the length, width, and height.

Volume = length x width x height
Volume = (5/2) x 3 x 11/2
Volume = 15/2 x 11/2
Volume = 165/4
Volume = 41.25 ft cubed

Besides knowing every corresponding side and angle of one triangle is congruent to another, how could you prove that two triangl
Citrus2011 [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means the same. You can prove that the two triangles are congruent by the measurements and also if they look the same. You can also see if parallelograms are congruent by seeing if they are the same. They also have to mirror the image of the other. Your welcome :)

I genuinely have no clue how to do them<br>15 here and 15 on another post​
Dovator [93]

Step-by-step explanation:

6. angle 1 = angle 4 = 60deg (vertically opposite angles)

7. angle 3 = 180 - 40 - 60 = 80deg (angles on a straight line are supplementary)

8. angle 5 = angle 2 = 40deg (vertically opposite angles)

9. angle 6 = angle 3 = 80deg (vertically opposite angles)

10. angle 7 = angle 5 + angle 4 = 40 + 60 = 100deg (alternate angles, //lines)

11. angle 8 = 180 - 100 = 80deg (angles on a str line are supplementary)

12. angle 9 = 180 - 80 - 40 = 60deg (angles in a triangle)

13. angle 10 = 180 - 60 = 120deg (angles on a str line are supplementary)

14. angle 11 = angle 9 = 60deg (vertically opp angles)

15. angle 12 = angle 10 = 120deg (vertically opp angles)
