Answer 3

Maybe this will help. I really don't know about the relationship between apothems and the area of triangles.

Answer 4

Do you have a picture?

Answer 5

None. The problem says it all

Answer 6

Ok.

Answer 7

I think it is is 1/2(4rad3)(1),

Answer 8

a=1/2ap apothom simplified 4rad3, perimeter 1, and total answer 3.5 in decimal form

Answer 9

how did you get that @n648c788

Answer 10

@Lyrae help me please :(

Answer 11

Will you elaborate it @n648c788

Answer 12

formula A=1/2ap
a=apothom
p=perimeter
so i simply rad48 to 4rad3
and since perimeter is 1
A=1/2(4rad3)(1)

Answer 13

If I simply all way to decimal form 3.5.

Answer 14

it would be8rad3 if i just times 1/2 and left it in radical

Answer 15

Is it making sense?

Answer 16

why would you use rad?

Answer 17

SO the answer is 3.5

Answer 18

it depends what form your teacher specify the answer to be in

Answer 19

yes in decimal form

Answer 20

he's just seeking for the area . I dont get it why you use rad..? RADIAN?

Answer 21

rad is the same thing as square root

Answer 22

rad is radical sign...

Answer 23

no radical for like square root 3

Answer 24

radians is measure of ange like pi/2

Answer 25

just notify me if you need any more help

Answer 26

my calculator says its 1.31 thingy is there something wrong with my input?"

Answer 27

type 1/2(4rad3) in calculator

Answer 28

\[\frac{ 1 }{2}\times4\sqrt{3}\] this is what @n648c788 is sayng...

Answer 29

1/2(4sqrt3)

Answer 30

yes

Answer 31

How did you get perimeter 1 with apthem 4 rad 3?
One side of the triangle should be larger than the apotem, since the three sides have equal length shouldent the perimeter be grater than atleast tree times the apothem?

Answer 32

everything ok?

Answer 33

I wasn't sure about the perimeter being 1 either @Lyrae

Answer 34

Yaaaa @n648c788 atleast you help me not the other one i just met earlier who promised to help me lol..

Answer 35

Becasue it would be a 30-60-90 triangle you would figure out half of one side and then double it to find the whole side of the triangle...

Answer 36

since it was not given you can assume it to be 1

Answer 37

Time to wrap this up. I have 4 more questions I guess.. to ask xD
