Answer:

Area = 101.4 cm^2 (3 S.F)

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of circle (D) = one side of the equilateral ∆

Circumference of the circle = πD = 48 cm

Thus:

πD = 48

Divide both sides by π

D = \frac{48}{\pi} = 15.3 cm (approximated to nearest tenth)

Since all sides an equilateral ∆ are equal, therefore, and the diameter, D, of the circle given is the same as the length of one side of the ∆, therefore, all sides of the equilateral triangle would be 15.3 cm.

Recall that the area of a triangle can be found if we know lengths of the two sides of the ∆ and the measure of the included angle between both sides.

Since an equilateral ∆ has equal angles, each measuring 60°, then we already have all the information needed to calculate the area of the ∆.

Thus:

Length of the two sides = 15.3 cm and

15.3 cm

Included angle = 60°

Use the following formula:

Area = \frac{1}{2}ab \times Sin(C)

Where,

a = 15.3 cm

b = 15.3 cm

C = 60°

Plug the values into the formula to find the area.

Area = \frac{1}{2} \times 15.3 \times  15.3 \times Sin(60)

Area = \frac{1 \times 15.3 \times  15.3 \times Sin(60)}{2}

Area = 101.4 cm^2 (3 S.F)

Find KL.<br> K<br> X-1<br> L<br> 12<br> M
Aneli [31]

Answer:

KL = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

(7 + x - 1)(x - 1) = 12²

(x + 6)(x - 1) = 144

x² -x + 6x - 6 = 144

reduce:

x² + 5x -150 = 0

(x + 15)(x - 10) = 0

x = -15, x = 10

KL = 10 - 1 = 9

Distributive property of (9×3)+(9×8)
Elodia [21]
We can see that both expressions, 9 times 3 and 9 times 8, have a common number of 9. We can take that number out, and we can combine 3 and 8 together. This gives us the expression 9(3 + 8). Therefore, the expression <span>(9×3)+(9×8) expressed as the distributive property is 9(3 +8), both totaling to 99. Hope this helped and have a fabulous day!</span>
