If a triangle has sides of 7 cm and it is an equilateral you can draw a line right down the middle to form two congruent triangles.

These smaller triangles have a hypotenuse of 7cm and a base of 3.5 cm (7/2)

To work out the height, use Pythagoras’ theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the other two sides

7^2 - 3.5^2 = 36.75

Square root answer

= 6.06 cm

That’s the height of the triangle

Area of a triangle is base x height divided by 2

So 7 x 6.06 = 42.43…

/2

= 21.2 cm^2 to one d.p

Hope this helped!

Esther wants to know if the number of words on a page in her language arts book is generally more than the number of words on a
kykrilka [37]
Answer: The correct answer is "No, because there is a lot of variability in the language arts book data."

The mean of the language arts book is higher than the mean of the social studies book, however, there is a lot of variability in the language arts book. This means that the language arts book could actually be lower than the social studies book. It is not likely but it could happen.
