An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 5 cm and 3 cm long. A second side of the

triangle is 7.6 cm long. Find the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a centimeter.
a. 12.7 cm, 4.6 cm
b. 15 cm, 4.6 cm
c. 38 cm, 2 cm
d. 38 cm, 12.7 cm

There is a little-known theorem to solve this problem.

The theorem says that
In a triangle, the angle bisector cuts the opposite side into two segments in the ratio of the respective sides lengths.

See the attached triangles for cases 1 and 2.  Let x be the length of the third side.

Case 1:
Segment 5cm is adjacent to the 7.6cm side, then
x/7.6=3/5  => x=7.6*3/5=4.56 cm

Case 2:
Segment 3cm is adjacent to the 7.6 cm side, then
x/7.6=5/3 => x=7.6*5/3=12.67 cm

The theorem can be proved by considering the sine rule on the adjacent triangles ADC and BDC with the common side CD and equal angles ACD and DCB.

Answer:

Correct answer is option <em>D)</em> Construct the bisector of an angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle bisector of an angle is a line that divides the angle in two equal parts.

A Line <em>BD</em> is called the angle bisector of \angle ABC if

\angle ABD = \angle CBD

Please refer to image attached.

As per the question image, if the line PW is joined it will be the angle bisector of \angle QPR.

Steps of construction of angle bisector:

1. Draw the angle QPR.

2. Open compass and make an arc that will cut the two lines on points Q and R respectively as shown in question figure.

3. With the same compass opening, put the compass on Q and make an arc in the area between \angle QPR.

4. Draw an arc keeping the compass on R to cut the previous arc on point W.

Line joining the points P and W is the angle bisector of \angle QPR.

So, Correct answer is option <em>D)</em> Construct the bisector of an angle.

PreOwned Vehicle Cost = 31,100

For 5 years simple interest, the value would be:

31100 * 0.0512 * 5 = $7961.6

Total have to pay: 31,100 + 7961.6 = $39,061.6
