There is a not so well-known theorem that solves this problem.

The theorem is stated as follows:
"Each angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side into segments proportional in length to the adjacent sides"  (Coxeter & Greitzer)

This means that for a triangle ABC, where angle A has a bisector AD such that D is on the side BC, then 
BD/DC=AB/AC

Here either
BD/DC=6/5=AB/AC, where  AB=6.9,  
then we solve for  AC=AB*5/6=5.75,

or

BD/DC=6/5=AB/AC, where  AC=6.9,  
then we solve for AB=AC*6/5=8.28

Hence, the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side are
8.28 and 5.75 units respectively.

When they say quotient, they want a fraction, so the answer for that would be
\frac{6}{10}
and the decimal form of that would be 0.6. You can get that from dividing 6 by 10 and solving with long division.

Find the probability of throwing 9 with two dice.
ololo11 [35]
Total number of possible outcomes of throwing two dice = 6×6 = 36
Number of outcomes of getting 9 i.e, (3+6),(4+5),(5+4),(6+3) = 4

P = \frac{Number \: of \: favourable \: outcomes}{ Total \: number \: of \: possible \: outcomes}

P (throwing \: 9) = \frac{4}{36} = \frac{1}{9}

Does getting a degree mean you can be a detective
inessss [21]
It depends on what kind of degree you have. Being a detective needs training and special classes- you can get degrees for being a bet or a data analysts. It depends on what sort of degree you have.
