= A triangle has sides of lengths 18, 24 and 30 units. What is the length of the shortest
altitude of this triangle? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

According to the Heron's formula, Area (A) of the triangle having sides a,b,c units is

A=

s(s−a)(s−b)(s−c)

where

s=

2

a+b+c

For the given triangle,

a=18 cm

b=24 cm

c=30 cm

s=

2

18+24+30

=36

A=

36(36−18)(36−24)(36−30)

A=

36×18×12×6

A=

216×216

=216 cm

Smallest side =18 cm

Area of the triangle =

Answer 2
Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\bf \leadsto The \ length \ of \ shortest \ altitude \ is \ 2.4\sqrt{6} \ units . }}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given measure of sides are 18 , 24 and 30 units. Firstly let's find the area of ∆ using Heron's Formula.

[tex]\boxed{\red{\bf Area_{\triangle} =\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}}}[/tex]

Where s is semi Perimeter . And here s will be ( 18 + 24 + 30 ) / 2 = 36 units .

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)} [/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \sqrt{ 36 ( 36 - 18)(36-24)(36-30)}[/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \sqrt{ 36 \times 18 \times 12} [/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \sqrt{ 6^2 \times 6\times 6 \times 2 \times 3} [/tex]

[tex]\bf \implies Area = 6^2\sqrt{6} unit^2 [/tex]

[tex]\bf \boxed{ \implies Area_{triangle} = 36\sqrt{6} units^2} [/tex]

Also we know that ,

[tex]\boxed{\red{\bf Area_{\triangle} = \dfrac{1}{2}\times (base)\times (height)}}[/tex]

Let's find the altitudes now ,

Altitude on side of 18 units :-

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (base)(height) \\\\\bf \implies 36\sqrt{6} unit^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 18 \times h_1 = 36\sqrt{6} u^2 \\\\\bf\implies h_1 =\dfrac{ 36\sqrt6 \times 2 }{18} \\\\\boxed{\bf\implies h_1 = 4\sqrt6 units }[/tex]

Altitude on side of 24 units :-

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (base)(height) \\\\\bf \implies 36\sqrt{6} unit^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 24 \times h_1 = 36\sqrt{6} u^2 \\\\\bf\implies h_1 =\dfrac{ 36\sqrt6 \times 2 }{24} \\\\\boxed{\bf\implies h_1 = 3\sqrt6 units }[/tex]

Altitude on side 30 units :-

[tex]\bf \implies Area = \dfrac{1}{2} \times (base)(height) \\\\\bf \implies 36\sqrt{6} unit^2 = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 30 \times h_1 = 36\sqrt{6} u^2 \\\\\bf\implies h_1 =\dfrac{ 36\sqrt6 \times 2 }{30} \\\\\boxed{\bf\implies h_1 = 2.4\sqrt6 units }[/tex]

Hence the lenght of shortest altitude is 2.46 units and its on the side of 30 units.

Answer:

Area of figure is 51 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of the figure given.

The figure is basically a combination of 3 rectangles.

Adding area of all the rectangles will give the area of the figure.

The formula used is: [tex]Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width[/tex]

Area of rectangle 1:

Length = 7 cm

Width = 3 cm

The area will be:

[tex]Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width\\Area\:of\:rectangle=7\times 3\\Area\:of\:rectangle=21 \:cm^2[/tex]

The area of rectangle 1 is 21 cm²

Area of rectangle 2

Length will be: 7-4 = 3cm

Width will be: 3 cm

The area will be:

[tex]Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width\\Area\:of\:rectangle=3\times 3\\Area\:of\:rectangle=9 \:cm^2[/tex]

The area of rectangle 2 is 9 cm²

Area of rectangle 3

Length will be: 7cm

Width will be: 3 cm

The area will be:

[tex]Area\:of\:rectangle=Length\times Width\\Area\:of\:rectangle=7\times 3\\Area\:of\:rectangle=21 \:cm^2[/tex]

The area of rectangle 3 is 21 cm²

The total area of the figure will be:

Area of figure = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of rectangle 3

Area of figure = 21+9+21

Area of figure = 51 cm²

So, Area of figure is 51 cm²

A trapezoid has a set of parallel bases with lengths 3 inches and 5 inches and a helght of 8 inches. What is the area
the trapezoid?

Answers

Answer:

The area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel base 1 = a = 3 inches

Parallel base 2 = b = 5 inches

Height of trapezoid = 8 inches

We need to find area of trapezoid

The formula used is: [tex]Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h[/tex]

Now putting the values and finding area of trapezoid

[tex]Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{a+b}{2}\times h\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{5+3}{2}\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=\frac{8}{2}\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=4\times 8\\Area\:of\:trapezoid=32[/tex]

So, the area of trapezoid is 32 inches^2

Divide by 6

x = 7/6

Answer:

x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding the x-intercept using slope intercept form. Substitute 0 for y and solve for x.

0 = 6x - 7

~Add 7 to both sides

7 = 6x

~Divide 6 to both sides

7/6 = x

The polynomial below is a perfect square trinomial of the form A2 - 2AB + B2.

9x^2-36x+16

A.True
B.False​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

9x² - 36x + 16

= (Ax - B)² = A²x² - 2ABx + B².

By Comparing Coefficients, we have:

A² = 9,

2AB = 36,

B² = 16.

It is obvious that A = 3 and B = 4.

However 2AB = 2(3)(4) = 24 which is not equal to 36.

Hence 9x² - 36x + 16 is not a perfect square trinomial.

False

m is proportional to the cube of r. when r=3m,m=216.when r=5 find the value of m

Answers

Answer:

The value of m is 1000 for r=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that m is proportional to the cube of r

It can be written as:

[tex]m \propto\ r^3[/tex]

When the proportionality symbol is removed a proportionality constant is introduced in the equation.

Let k be the proportionality constant

[tex]m = kr^3[/tex]

Given

r=3,m=216

Putting the values

[tex]216 = k(3)^3\\216 = k * 27\\k = \frac{216}{27}\\k = 8[/tex]

The equation will now become

[tex]m = 8r^3[/tex]

Putting r = 5

[tex]m = 8(5)^3\\m = 8 * 125\\m = 1000[/tex]

Hence,

The value of m is 1000 for r=5
