The base is 1 so 1/2bh= 1/2(√3)(1) 1/2bh=1/2(√3) but the packet says the answer is plain √3 Can anyone help? On the 11.1 and 11.2 worksheet I did not get number #9
what id id was
Pythagorean Thm. by doing:
1^2 + x^2=2^2
then; 1 +x^2=4
so; x^2=3
finally; x=√3
so that was the height of the triangle.
The base is 1
so 1/2bh= 1/2(√3)(1)
1/2bh=1/2(√3)
but the packet says the answer is plain √3
Can anyone help?

This means that it is is bigger on the equator than the poles. This causes an uneven distribution of gravity around earth. The name for the shape of the earth is an oblate spheroid.

After reading this article I learned that the earth is rounder on top and bulgy at the sides. This was a very interesting article.
