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

For how many real values of x is <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%5Csqrt%7B120-%5Csqrt%7Bx%7D%7D%20" id="TexFormula1" title
leva [86]

A good place to start is to set \sqrt{x} to y. That would mean we are looking for \sqrt{120-y} to be an integer. Clearly, y\leq 120, because if y were greater the part under the radical would be a negative, making the radical an imaginary number, not an integer. Also note that since \sqrt{x} is a radical, it only outputs values from [0,\infty], which means y is on the closed interval: [0,120].

With that, we don't really have to consider y anymore, since we know the interval that \sqrt{x} is on.

Now, we don't even have to find the x values. Note that only 11 perfect squares lie on the interval [0,120], which means there are at most 11 numbers that x can be which make the radical an integer. All of the perfect squares are easily constructed. We can say that if k is an arbitrary integer between 0 and 11 then:

\sqrt{120-\sqrt{x}}=k \implies \\ \sqrt{x}=k^2-120 \implies\\ x=(k^2-120)^2

Which is strictly positive so we know for sure that all 11 numbers on the closed interval will yield a valid x that makes the radical an integer.
