Answer:

  6.9 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the sides are the same length. The altitude meets the base at its midpoint, so the altitude (h) of the triangle can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.

  h² + 2² = 4²

  h² = 12

  h = 2√3

Then the area is ...

  A = 1/2bh

  A = (1/2)(4 m)(2√3 m) = 4√3 m² ≈ 6.9 m²

___

If you work through the above area formula in generic terms, you find the area of an equilateral triangle to be ...

  A = (s²/4)√3 . . . . . where s is the side length

Another approach is to treat the figure as a 3-gon and use the n-gon area formula that uses the perimeter. That formula is derived here brainly.com/question/22386162

It is ...

  A = P²/(4n·tan(180°/n))

For a triangle with side length s, this is ...

  A = (3s)²/(4·3·tan(60°) = (s²/4)√3 . . . . same as above

S_A_V [24]
Answer:
10/3 hours

Explanation:
If Maria practices 5/6 hours a day, then she practices (5/6)(4) hours in 4 days.

(5/6)(4)=20/6

20/6 can be simplified to 10/3 hours.

I hope this helps!

Keegan leans an 18-foot ladder against the top of a wall. The bottom of the ladder is 4.5 feet from the base of the wall. What i
zaharov [31]

Answer: C. 17.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached photo shows the triangle ABC formed by the ladder and the wall. It is a right angle triangle because one of its angles is 90 degrees. The ladder is the hypotenuse of the triangle. To determine the height of the wall, we would find BC by applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent^2

18^2 + 4.5^2 + BC^2

BC^2 = 324 - 20.25 = 303.75

BC = √303.75 = 17.5 feet.

Pumps A, B, and C operate at their respective constant rates. Pumps A and B, operating simultaneously, can fill a certain tank i
jeka94

Let a,b,c be the time it takes for pumps A, B, and C (respectively) to fill 1 tank. Then

\begin{cases}\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b=\dfrac1{\frac65}=\dfrac56\\\\\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c=\dfrac1{\frac32}=\dfrac23\\\\\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\end{cases}

Now,

\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b\right)-\left(\dfrac1a+\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac56-\dfrac23\implies\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c=\dfrac16

Then

\left(\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c\right)+\left(\dfrac1b-\dfrac1c\right)=\dfrac12+\dfrac16\implies\dfrac2b=\dfrac23\implies b=3

This means

\dfrac1a+\dfrac13=\dfrac56\implies\dfrac1a=\dfrac12\implies a=2

and

\dfrac13+\dfrac1c=\dfrac12\implies\dfrac1c=\dfrac16\implies c=6

Working together, all 3 pumps would operate at a rate of

\dfrac1a+\dfrac1b+\dfrac1c=1

or 1 tank in 1 hour, so the answer is D.
