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

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
Gwar [14]

Answer: 66 sq ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Break up the shape into three separate shapes

8 * 3 = 24 for the rectangle

There are 2 triangles

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2(b)(h)

1 of the triangles has a base of 4 and height of 12

1/2(4)(12) = 24

The other triangle has a base of 3 and height of 12

1/2(3)(12) = 18

24 + 24+ 18 = 66

Changing Bases to Evaluate Logarithms in Exercise, use the change-of-base formula and a calculator to evaluate the logarithm. Se
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is  "Changing Bases to Evaluate Logarithms in Exercise, use the change-of-base formula and a calculator to evaluate the logarithm. See Example 9.  log_{4}7.

log_{4}7=1.404\\

Step-by-step explanation:

From the general properties or laws of logarithm, we have the

log_{a}b=\frac{logb}{loga} \\

where both log are now express in the natural logarithm base.

i.e log_{a}b=\frac{lnb}{lna}\\

hence we can express our log_{4}7=\frac{ln7}{ln4} \\.

the value of ln7 is 1.9459 and ln4 is 1.3863

Hence  log_{4}7=\frac{ln7}{ln4}=\frac{1.9459}{1.3863}\\.

log_{4}7=1.404\\
