The height of the triangular base of the pyramid is s√3/2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, what we are concerned with is to calculate the height of the equilateral-triangle base of the oblique pyramid.

From the question, we are told that the equilateral triangle has a length of a units.

Let’s have a recall on some of the properties of equilateral triangles;

a. All sides are of equal lengths. Meaning side s is the length of all the sides in this case.

b. All angles are equal, meaning they are 60 degree each.

c. Dropping a perpendicular line from the top vertex to the base length will split the equilateral triangle into two right-angled triangles of angles 60 and 30 each.

So to find the height of this triangular base, we can use any of the two right angled triangles.

Kindly recall that the properties of each would be angles 30, 60 and side length s

so to calculate the height h, we can use trigonometric identities

Mathematically, the trigonometric identity we can use is the sine( side length s represents the hypotenuse, while the height h represents the opposite facing the angle 60 degrees)

Thus; we have

Sine of an angle = length of the opposite/length of hypotenuse

sin 60 = h/s

h = s sin 60

In surd form,

sin 60 = √3/2

Thus;

h = s * √3/2 = s√3/2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions

< 4, -5>

step-by-step explanation:

starting from g. we move 4 right and then 5 down to get to h. that means the vector is < 4, -5>
