An equilateral triangle with side length 7 cm is shown in the diagram, work out the area of the triangle.
1 answer:
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

Answer:
y = 2x^2 + 16x + 11
Step-by-step explanation:
2(x + 4)^2 - 21
2(x + 4)(x + 4) - 21
2(x^2 + 8x + 16) - 21
2x^2 + 16x + 32 - 21
2x^2 + 16x + 11
volume of a sphere is 4/3 * PI * r^3
r = 6
r^3 = 6^3 = 216
4/3 * 216 = 288
Volume = 288 PI in^3
Answer:
12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
m= slope
m=Y2-Y1/X2-X1
Y2=5, Y1=-7, X2=3, X1=-2
Substitute into equation
m=5-(-7)/3-(-2)
m=5+7/3+2
m=12/5
slope is 12/5
