    Explain matrices and triangles

    Researchers at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho coordinate many of the firefighting efforts necessary to battle wildfires in the western United States. In an effort to dispatch firefighters for containment, scientists and meteorologists attempt to forecast the direction of the fires. Some of this data can be

    Word problem

    (See attached file for full problem description) The area A of an equilateral triangle varies directly as the square of the length of a side. If the area of the equilateral triangle whose sides are of length 2 cm is (√3) cm2 , find the length s of an equilateral triangle whose area A is (√3)/4 cm2.
