Answer:
Option C. 3√3
Step-by-step explanation:
Please see attached photo for brief explanation.
In the attached photo, we obtained the following:
Opposite = a
Adjacent = 3
Hypothenus = 6
Angle θ = 60°
We can obtain the value of 'a' as follow:
Tan θ = Opposite /Adjacent
Tan 60° = a/3
Cross multiply
a = 3 x Tan 60°
But: Tan 60° = √3
a = 3 x Tan 60°
a = 3 x √3
a = 3√3
Therefore, the length of the altitude of the equilateral triangle is 3√3.
Answer:
The length of the line segment UV is 76 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In a triangle, the line segment joining the mid-points of two sides is parallel to the third side and equal to half its length
In Δ ONT
∵ U is the mid-point of ON
∵ V is the mid-point of TN
→ That means UV is joining the mid-points of two sides
∴ UV // OT
∴ UV = OT
∵ UV = 7x - 8
∵ OT = 12x + 8
∴ 7x - 8 = (12x + 8)
→ Multiply the bracket by
∵ (12x + 8) =
(12x) +
(8) = 6x + 4
∴ 7x - 8 = 6x + 4
→ Add 8 to both sides
∴ 7x - 8 + 8 = 6x + 4 + 8
∴ 7x = 6x + 12
→ Subtract 6x from both sides
∴ 7x - 6x = 6x - 6x + 12
∴ x = 12
→ Substitute the value of x in the expression of UV to find it
∵ UV = 7(12) - 8 = 84 - 8
∴ UV = 76
∴ The length of the line segment UV is 76 units
