Is my answer correct? A side of an equilateral triangle is 20yd long. What is the area of the triangle? Do not round any intermediate computations, and round your answer to the nearest tenth.

copy and paste the same exact question onto google and google will give you your right answer :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont trust the google calculator its always wrong for some reason :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on then lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After following the formula I got 100√3 then rounded to the nearest tenth i got 100 yd^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's a formula to calculate the area of an equilateral triangle. Here it is: A=3√4s2 where s is the length of one side of the triangle.

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

The perpendicular bisector divides the triangle into 2 30 60 90 triangles. One side of the rectangle is 10 yards. The length of the other side is 10 * sq root of 3 So the area is 10 * 10 * sq root of 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It wont let me put the sq root in the answer box

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Area is about 173.2 sq yards

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

173.21yd² ?

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

ok i wa right :D

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

so the answer is 173.21?

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

wolf can i be in your legion? ;3

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

sure ali :-)

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

yeah in exact but yours is right too

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

:-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

No problem :-)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well a more exact answer is 173.205080756888 sq yards.

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

I was kinda making it easy for him but that works too :3

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

okay :-)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

And thanks for the medals

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

No prob xD

Yall wanna tell me how i go about doing this? A pole that is 2.7m tall casts a shadow that is 1.29mlong. At the same time, a nearby building casts a shadow that is 48.5m long. How tall is the building? Round your answer to the nearest meter. Or shall I open another question?

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

Post in a new question? Thats what they always tell me :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know it's something like 2.7/x 1.29/48.5

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

nvm then xDDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrighty :)

OpenStudy (ali2x2):

okai :P

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Well if you make it a new question, then I could get another medal but we can stay right here if you want
