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)

​The table shows the function g(x) .
larisa86 [58]
According to the table shown, the function that best represents g (x) is the function g (x) = 2x. This can be shown with the values of the table because if x = -1 then g (-1) = - 2. If x = 0 then g (0) = 0. And if x = 1 then g (1) = 2.

While for f (x) we have:
x f (x)-1 -80 01 8

Then f (x) = 4g (x)

What is 2 2/15 - 1 2/3=<br> I ended up with 2 3/21 <br> Really need help with this!
QveST [7]

Answer:

2 \frac{2}{15}  - 1 \frac{2}{3}

=  \frac{32}{15}  -  \frac{5}{3}

=  \frac{32 \times 1 - 5 \times 5}{15}

= \frac{32 - 25}{15}

=  \frac{7}{15}
