Question

WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT ANSWER!!!!

The triangle below is equilateral. Find the length of side x to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

that is an equilateral triangle and if one side is 3.46 rounded it is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3.5 because rounding found out by square root of 12

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 4$\sqrt{3}$ = 6.9

Step-by-step explanation:

if the large triangle is equilateral then each angle is 60°

but the altitude creates two smaller triangles that measure 30-60-90°

the ratio of sides, respectively, is 1 : $\sqrt{2}$ : 2

we can create a proportion to find 'x':

x/2 = $\sqrt{12}$/1

cross-multiply:

x = 2$\sqrt{12}$

since $\sqrt{12}$ = $\sqrt{4}$·$\sqrt{3}$ = 2$\sqrt{3}$

so 'x' = 2·2$\sqrt{3}$ = 4$\sqrt{3}$

therefore, we can see that the side opposite the 30° angle is half the hypotenuse
