If the length of two sides of an isosceles triangle are 5 and 12 what is the length of the third side
1 answer:
By definition, an isosceles triangle has 2 of the 3 sides with the same length. From this, we already know that the third side must be or 5 or 12.
We also know that, for every triangle, the sum of two sides must be always bigger than the third side, for any combination.
From this second affirmation, we know that the third side can not be 5, because:
From this, we conclude that the third side of an isosceles triangle with sides equal to 5 and 12 is equal to 12.

Volume of pyramid:
A - base area
H - height
First count volume of one pyramid:
![V=\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 4=4 [\hbox{inch}^3]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%3D%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B3%7D%20%5Ccdot%203%20%5Ccdot%204%3D4%20%5B%5Chbox%7Binch%7D%5E3%5D)
So by using 576 inch^3 you can make 576 : 4 = 144 pyramids

Since <em>x</em> is the number of 14-year periods, the first thing we do is divide 28 years by 14. 28/14=2. Now we use that in our function,
