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.

Sunni is riding a raft down a stream that is moving at a rate of 75 feet per minute how far downstream does she travel in 5 minu
sineoko [7]

Answer: 375 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Sunni is riding a raft down a stream that is moving at a rate of 75 feet per minute.

To calculate how far downstream that she can travel in 5 minute, we have to multiply the distance covered per minute by 5. This will be:

= 75 feet × 5

= 375 feet

Find the value of x and y
Westkost [7]

Answer:

3√15

Step-by-step explanation:

x=y

x^2+x^2 = 9*30

2x^2 = 270

x^2 = 9*15

x = y = 3√15

An image of two concentric circles is shown with r2 = 6 and r1 = 2:
AysviL [449]

The radius of the Outer circle (with r₂) is 6 and the radius of the inner circle (with r₁) is 2. When objects are similar, they have a proportional relationship. If we take the outer circle and squeeze by one third, we get a radius of 6 x 1/3 = 2. On the other hand, if we start with the inner circle and stretch it by 3, we get a radius of 2 x 3 = 6.


Thus, to make r₂ similar, we use a scale factor of 1/3. The third choice is best.
