An equilateral triangle with side lengths of 8.7 centimeters is shown. An apothem has a length of a and the radius has a length of 5 centimeters. The apothem and radius form a triangle with a base length of b. Which statements about finding the area of the equilateral triangle are true? Select three options
Answers
The image of the triangle is missing, so i have attached it.
Also, the options are;
A) The apothem can be found using the Pythagorean theorem.
B) The apothem can be found using the tangent ratio.
C) The perimeter of the equilateral triangle is 15 cm.
D) The length of the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.
E) The area of the equilateral triangle is approximately 65 cm².
Answer:
Options A, B & D are true
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We are told that the triangle is an equilateral triangle.
Thus, the 3 sides equal 8.7 cm.
Now from the image, b is half of one of the sides.
Thus, b = 8.7/2 = 4.35 cm
Now, we want to find the apothem "a".
Using Pythagoras theorem, we have;
a² + 4.35² = 5²
a² = 25 - 18.9225
a² = 6.0775
a = √6.0775
a ≈ 2.5 cm.
Thus, option A is true as pythagoras theorem was able to calculate the apothem "a"
B) since the main triangle is equilateral, it means each angle is 60°.
Now,the radius line from one corner point to the centre will divide the 60° angle into 2 equal parts.
Thus, the angle made by the radius line with the base of the triangle is 60/2 = 30°
Now,from tangent ratios, we know that;
Opposite/Adjacent = tan θ
In the small triangle, opposite is apothem "a" while adjacent is b = 4.35 cm
Thus;
a/4.35 = tan 30
a = 4.35 tan 30
a ≈ 2.5 cm.
Thus, option B is correct as Tangent ratio can be used to find the apothem
C) The perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3x
Where x is length of one side.
One side is 8.7 cm
Thus, perimeter = 3 × 8.7 = 26.1 cm
Thus option C is not correct.
D) From calculations above, we saw that in both options A & B, the apothem is approximately 2.5 cm.
Thus, option D is true.
E) Area of triangle is;
A = ½ × base × height
Base = 8.7 cm
To get height, we will use trigonometric ratio. Thus;
h/8.7 = sin 60°
h = 8.7 sin 60°
Thus;
A = ½ × 8.7 × 8.7 sin 60°
A = 32.77 cm²
Thus is not equal to 65 cm². Thus, option E is not correct.

A, B, D

solve for x please
Answers
Answer: 53°
Step-by-step explanation: If two parallel lines are cut by
a transversal, then same-side interior angles are supplementary.
So if we know one of our angles measures 127,
our other angle will measure 180 - 127, which is 53.
So x is 53 degrees.
Remember, whenever you have two parallel lines cut by a transversal,
same-side interior <'s are supp. or the sum of their measures is 180 degrees.

Find a counterexample to show that the given conjecture is false:
The sum of two positive even integers is always an odd integer.
Answers
Answer:
20 + 16 = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
The conjecture: "The sum of two positive even integers is always an odd integer" can be easily be proven false with a counterexample.
Pick A=20 and B=16, both are positive even integers.
The sum of both A + B = 36 is an even integer. This is a counterexample because being even is the contrary of being odd.
Counterexample: 20 + 16 = 36
In fact, the conjecture is always false, since there cannot be found any pair of positive integers whose sum is odd.
Other possible counterexamples are:
10 + 8, 700 + 40, 12 + 14, etc.

Which of the following is an example of direct variation?
y= cx
xy = c
y = czx
y= cx/z
Answers
Answer: Choice A) y = cx
The 'c' is the constant of variation
For example, if c = 2, then y = 2x is a direct variation. Whatever x is, we double it to get y. As x increases, so does y. As x decreases, then so does y. Both x and y increase/decrease together.
Direct variation equations always go through the origin, and they are always linear. The 'c' plays the role of the slope. You can think of y = cx as y = mx+b where b = 0 in this case and c = m.

if 22,x,y,31 are in ap. find the values of x and y
Answers
Answer:
x = 25, y = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
The n th term of an AP is
[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = 22 and
a₄ = a₁ + 3d = 31 , that is
22 + 3d = 31 ( subtract 22 from both sides )
3d = 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )
d = 3
Thus
x = 22 + 3 = 25
y = 25 + 3 = 28
Arianna is packing scented candles and candle holders into gift boxes. She has 84 candles and 48 holders, and each box must contain both items. She puts the same number of candles in each box, and the same number of holders in each box. What is the maximum number of gift boxes Arianna can pack, and how many scented candles and candle holders will each box have?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If she has 84 candles and 48 holders, we can write out the factors of both values as shown
For candles
84 = 2×2×3×7
84 = 12×7
For 48
48 = 2×2×2×2×3
48 = (2×2)×(2×2×3)
48 = 4×12
48 = 12×4
From both factors, we can are that 12 common to both of them. This means that the maximum number of gift boxes Ariana can pack is 12
The other factors will give the amount of scented candles and candle holders that each box will have. This means that each box will have 7scented candles and 4 holders.
The items Pedro has selected at his local hardware store have a total cost of $130 before tax. If the sales tax is 8.25%, which is closest to the amount of sales tax Pedro can
expect to pay?
Answers
Answer: $10.7
Step-by-step explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Total cost of items = $130
Percentage of Sales tax = 8.25%
Sales tax = Sales tax percent × Cost
Sales tax = 8.25% × $130
Sales tax = 8.25/100 × $130
= 0.0825 × $130
= $10.725
= $10.7

Answer:
3.75 or 3[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing we can find is the scale factor of the two triangles. You can see that the corresponding sides AB and A'B' are 2 and 8 respectively, and since the two triangles are similar, you can say that triangle ABC is shrunk by a factor of 2/8 or 1/4.
Next, we need to figure out what side B'C' is and we can do this using the Pythagorean theorem [tex]a^{2}[/tex]+[tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]. Using this, we know that [tex]8^{2}[/tex]+
Now, since ABC is shrunk by 1/4 and the corresponding side of BC is equal to 15, we need to multiply 15 by 1/4 and you would find that BC is 3.75 or 3[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex].

Jordan has 3 blue shirts, 4 red shirts and 6 orange shirts. She chooses a shirt for Monday and places it in her suitcase. Then, she chooses a shirt for Tuesday. What is the probability that she choose a red shirt for Monday and an orange shirt for Tuesday?
Answers
Answer:
30% on Monday 46% on Tuesday
Step-by-step explanation:
Well you have 3 blue shirts 4 red shirts and 6 orange shirts so what you have to do is add all them together to make it a fraction which you would do 3+4+6 which is 13/13 so the probability of her wearing a red shirt on Monday would be 4/13 since there are 4 red shirts and 13 in total so we make 4/13 as a fraction which would give us 30% chance she would choose a red shirt on Monday and for Tuesday we do the same thing but instead we use orange shirts so which is 6/13 which would give her a percentage of 46% on Tuesday it's more closer to half than the red shirts because 6 pretty much half of 13 but since 13 is a odd number it isn't half because half of 13 is 6.5
In cross country, the team score is determined by the place each individual runner finishes. (For example, 1st place is one point, 16th place is 16 points, etc.) In their latest meet, the boys cross-country team scored 55 points. If there were five runners on the team and each runner finished one after another, what places did they come on? Explain your reasoning and support your answer. *
Answers
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that there were five rummers in the team;
Each runner finished one after the other
Total. Points scored =. 55
Let the positions of each runner be :
1sr runner = p
2nd runner =.p + 1
3rd runner =.p + 2
4th runner =.p + 3
5th runner =.p + 4
(1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th +. 5th) runner = 55
(p + p + 1 + p + 2 + p + 3 + p + 4) = 55
5p + 10 = 55
5p = 55 - 10
5p = 45
p = 9
Hence,
1st runner = 9th
2nd runner = 9 + 1 = 10th
3rd runner = 9 + 2 = 11th
4th runner = 9 + 3 = 12th
5th runner = 9+ 4 = 13th
