In <span>equilateral triangle all sides are equal =x,
from  right triangle that  is formed by </span>apothem , height 7*3= 21
hypotenuse /opposite leg = sin angle,
hypotenuse is a side of triangle =x, opposite leg is apotheme =21,
angle in equilateral triangle =60⁰
21/x= sin 60, x*sin60=21, x=21/sin60, x=21/(√3/2), x=42/√3
Area of triangle =1/2 x*x*sin angle

Area of triangle =1/2 *42/√3*42/√3*sin 60=1/2*(42²/3)*(√3/2) ≈ 255 cm²



this is just second way to do this problem, that I did at first (either way is correct)
<span> apothem divides one side by half,
so we get small right triangle with sides x hypotenuse, x/2 is one leg , and 21 is another leg
</span>by Pythagorean theorem 
x²=(x/2)² +21²
x²-x²/4=441
3x²/4=441
3x²=441*4=1764
x²=1764/3
x=42/√3
Area of triangle =1/2*base *height =1/2*42/√3 *21≈255 cm²

maw [93]

Answer:

C) 67.5 to 72.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The value to calculate the confidence interval is given as:

(x-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}},x-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}} \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

Margin of error is given by:

z_{\frac{\alpha}{2} } \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Using a sample of size n = 3, with 95% confidence the confidence interval came out to be 67 to 73.

We need to identify the new confidence interval if the sample size is increased to n = 16

If you observe the formula, you will see that the sample size(n) is in the denominator. This means, if value of n will be increased the value of fraction will be decreased, which will result in an overall smaller value of margin of error. Since, margin of error is smaller, the values of confidence interval will be closer to the mean.

From here, we can conclude that if sample size is increased, the confidence interval will get narrower. From the given options only option C contains a narrow confidence interval. Therefore, correct answer will be option C: 67.5 to 72.6
