An equilateral triangle has an altitude of 7cm. Which of the following have a proportional relationship to the altitude? Select all that apply.
A. Perimeter
B. Sides
C. Angles
D. Area
E. Vertices

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Perimeter

B. Sides

D. Area

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose a triangle ABC has sides each of length a

formula:

The altitude of the triangle h equal to :

[tex]h=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a[/tex]

________

Perimeter:

Let’s P be the perimeter of the triangle ABC then P = 3a

[tex]\frac{P}{h}=\frac{3 a}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a}=\frac{3}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}=2 \frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}=2 \sqrt{3}[/tex]

P/h is a constant then The perimeter has a proportional relationship to the altitude

______

Sides :

[tex]\frac{h}{a}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} a}{a}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

h/a is a constant then The side has a proportional relationship to the altitude

______

Area :

Let A be the area of the triangle

[tex]\frac{A}{h}=\frac{a \times h}{h}=a[/tex]

A/h is a constant then The area has a proportional relationship to the altitude

_____

Angles :

The measure Of each angle of an equilateral triangle is always equal to 60°

60/h is not a constant then there is no proportional relationship

______

Vertices:

The vertices are points and not numbers so there is no proportional relationship.
