An equilateral triangle surrounds a circle of radius 10 cm and is itself surrounded by a larger circle Find the radius of the bigger circle?
Cricrockson
Make a sketch of the situation. From a corner of the equilateral triangle draw a radius of the large circle, and from an adjacent side draw a radius of the smaller circle. You should have formed a small right-angled triangle with a known side of 10cm. and known angles of 30o, 60o and 90o. (The interior angles of an equilateral triangle are each 60o.) The hypotenuse is the unknown radius of the larger circle. But since cos 60 = 0.5, it is evident that the hypotenuse is 20cm. long.

Can a horse pen be an acute right triangle?
NO, because and acute triangle is less than 90 degree and if u want a horse to fit u need a triangle bigger than 90 degree so u need an obtuse triangle instead of a acute triangle
Do these three sides make a right triangle 10 24 26?
it should make a triangle I dont know about a right triangle because in order for three sides to make a triangle the sum of the two smallest sides need to be bigger than the biggest side in this case the sum of the two smallest numbers is 34 and the biggest side is only 26 making the two smaller sides bigger than the biggest side ------ Yes, they make a right triangle if 10(a) and 24(b) are the legs and 26(c) is the hypotenuse because of a^2+b^2=c^2.
How do you do a project on Designs and patterns using arithmetic progressions?
You can use a couple different methods for this. Using Pascal's triangle you can keep making shapes that are bigger proportionally.
Is slant height greater than the height?
Its slant height is bigger. Think of it as a triangle: the hypotenuse is always the largest side, and the slant height is like the hypotenuse.
Which area is bigger a circle with a diameter of 10 feet or a triangle with an area of 100 sq ft?
Use the standard formula to calculate the area of the circle, then you can compare with the area given for the triangle. Note 1: The formula for a circle is: area = pi x radius squared Note 2: The radius is half the diameter
Is it possible to construct a right equilateral triangle?
I don't think so, because in right triangles, the hypotenuse has to be bigger than the other two sides. An equilateral triangle by definition has equal sides. The angles between these sides are also equal. In any triangle, the sum of the angles must equal 180 degrees. A right triangle by definition has one angle that equals 90 degrees. To be equilateral it would have to have 3 angles which are all 90 degrees. Adding these up, the total sum of the angles would be 270 degrees. This would no longer be classified as a triangle.
Which triangle can be outside the triangle?
A bigger triangle.
How is the area of a triangle and parallelogram different?
They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.They need not be. A bigger triangle can have the same area as a small parallelogram.
Could a right triangle ever become an equilateral triangle?
No. Regardless of the size the Hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) would always be bigger athn either of the other two sides. It has to be as the sum of its square is always equal to the sum of the squares of both of the other two sides.
What is the volume of an equilateral triangular prism whose height is the square root of 12 cm and has a length of 4 cm showing work?
This is a homework question, WikiAnswers does not do homework for people, because that is cheating.To help you, the prism will have a triangular base where the triangle is an equilateral triangle (all edges are the same length)The interior angles of an equilateral triangle are all 60 degrees.The square root of 12cm is 3.46 cmthe length of the prism is 4 cmTo work out the answer(1) work out the area of the triangle - you will need to bisect one angle to make 2 identical right angle triangles inside the bigger equilateral triangle. This bisecting line will be 3.46 cm and the triangles will have internal angles of 90, 60 and 30 degrees. Using this information and Pythagoras' theorem you will be able to work out the length of a side of the equilateral triangle.Once you have this length, the area of an equilateral triangle is provided by the formula.Area = sqrt(3)/4 a2 (where "a" is the length of a side)(2) multiply this by the length.Further Information:Using trigonometry each side of the triangle: square root of 12/sin(60 degrees)=4 cmVolume: 0.5*4*4*sin(60 degrees)*4=27.713 cubic cm rounded up to 3 decimal places
Is the perimeter of a triangle always bigger than the area of a triangle?
no
A triangle and a trapezoid can be combined to make a?
Bigger triangle, a parallelogram or a pentagon.
What type of solution surrounds a cell when the cell gets bigger?
a hypotonic solution
How do you find the Perimeter of a polygon with only the area?
Different polygons have different relationships between perimeter and area. For example, if we assume regular polygons, an equilateral triangle and a square have different perimeters for the same area. If you allow irregular polygons, the variety is even bigger.
What quadrilateral has to equilateral triangles when you draw a diagonal?
none the diagonal will always be bigger than a side
How much bigger is Antarctica in March than September?
Its much bigger then usually because its surrounded by ice and and its approximately about 203 miles bigger.
Small triangle is 52cm and large triangle is four ninths bigger what is it's size?
It is 4/9 of the small triangle plus the size of the small triangle
