The smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 17 inches.

<h3>What is the Pythagoras theorem?</h3>

The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides in a right-angle triangle.

From the information given, the sides of an obtuse triangle measure 9 inches and 14 inches.

Therefore, the third side will be:

c² = 9² + 14²

c² = 81 + 196

c² = 277

c = ✓277

c = 16.64

c = 17

Hence, the smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 17 inches.

Given: AD = BC and AD || BC

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

ABCD is a parallelogram.

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral that has two parallel and equal pairs of opposite sides.

From the given diagram,

Given: AD = BC and AD || BC, then:

i. AB = DC (both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent)

ii. <ADC = < BCD and < DAB = < CBA

thus, AD || BC and AB || DC (both pairs of opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel)

iii. < BAC = < DCA (alternate angle property)

iv. Join BD, line AC and BC are the diagonals of the quadrilateral which bisect each other. The two diagonals are at a right angle to each other.

v. <ADC + < BCD + < DAB + < CBA = $360^{0}$ (sum of angles in a quadrilateral equals 4 right angles)

Therefore, ABCD is a parallelogram.
