Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the shape is an equilateral triangle, all the angles are equal measure, 60° and all the sides are also of equal measure that was given, root3. So half of the triangle has length (root3)/2. The perpendicular drawn in the interior is also an angle bisector. The triangles created are 30°-60°-90° triangles. The sides of this special right triangle are in the ratio
s : 2s : sroot3
The longest side of the 30-60-90 triangle is given. The shortest side is half the length of the longest side. The length of the long leg is the short leg × root3
In this diagram the short leg is (root3)/2 .
(root3)/2 × root3 = 3/2

The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, a rectangular container measuring 20 inches long by 16 inches wide by 12 inches tall is filled to its brim with water.
Let the new height of water level be x inches.
The volume of the container = (20×16×12) cubic inches
=3840 cubic inches
According to the problem,
3840 - (20×16×x) = 850
⇔3840 -320x = 850
⇔-320x =850-3840
⇔-320 x = -2990
⇔x = 9.34 inches
The new height of the water is = 9.34 inches (approx)
