Answer:
6.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Draw a picture of an equilateral triangle. Cut the triangle in half, so that you get two 30-60-90 triangles. The area of these smaller triangles is 8 square inches.
The short leg of these triangles (the base) is half the side length: ½ s.
According to properties of 30-60-90 triangles, the long leg (the height) is √3 times the short leg: ½ s√3.
Area of a triangle is half the base times the height:
A = ½bh
8 = ½ (½ s) (½ s√3)
8 = ⅛ s²√3
64 = s²√3
s² = 64/√3
s = √(64/√3)
s ≈ 6.1
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 (better written as 2·2·2·3·11, because "x" is a variable name, not a math operator).
2·2·2·3·11 = 8·33 = 264
Then divide 792 by this 264 to find the final factor:
final factor = 792/264 = 3
Then the prime factorization of 792 is 2·2·2·3·3·11
which we obtained by multiplying 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 11 by 3.
X + x+1 + x + 2 = 20
3x + 3 = 20
3x = 17 but can't start with x = 6 because 6+7+8 > 20,
so have start with 5 + 6 + 7 = 18 are the 3 sides.
