@agent0smith hey do u know this question sry i dont know

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hint: tan(alpha) = 1 so that implies that alpha = 45 degrees (look at the table) so triangle ABD is a 45-45-90 triangle

OpenStudy (waheguru):

Yea I undewrstood it so tan30 = opp/adj √3/3 = 6/x x = 6 / (/3/3) is that correct @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so far, so good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

keep going

OpenStudy (waheguru):

then I can use the base x height over 2 and get the exact area right?

OpenStudy (waheguru):

@jim_thompson5910 quick question, how do i rationalize 6 / (/3/3) so that there is no root 3 at the bototom?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

multiply top and bottom by sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (waheguru):

18*√3 / 3 ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then 18/3 = 6 so it's 6*sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (waheguru):

yep

OpenStudy (waheguru):
