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.

A pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings. How many different pizzas can be mad
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:  The total number of  pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a pizza parlor offers 3 sizes of pizzas, 2 types of crust, and one of 4 different toppings.

We are to find the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices.

We have the <em><u>COUNTING PRINCIPLE :</u></em>

If we have m ways of doing one task and n ways of doing the second task, then the number of ways in which we can do both the tasks together is m×n.

Therefore, the number of different pizzas that can be made from the given choices is

N=3\times2\times4=24.

Thus, the total number of  pizzas that can be made from the given choices is 24.

The cost of fencing a circular field at the rate of Rs.24 per metre is Rs. 5280.
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

radius = 35.03 m

Step-by-step explanation:

5280/24 = circumference = 220 m

220 /Pi = diameter = 70.06 m

70.06/2 = radius = 35.03 m

Tracy needs to find the length and width of the equipment storage room where she works. The room is 2 meters longer than it is w
____ [38]

Answer:

3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume the storage room is a rectangle, like most rooms, no indication it is otherwise.

We know it's a rectangle and not a square because it is longer than wide.

We have the perimeter measurement (16 meters).

So, we can make the following equation:

2x + 2y = 16

x being the width of the room, y being it's length.  A perimeter is the sum of all sides.

We also know the room is 2 meters longer than wide... so:

y = x + 2

If we replace y in the first equation by its value relative to x, we get:

2x + 2(x + 2) = 16 which becomes

2x + 2x + 4 = 16

4x =12

thus x = 3

Width: 3 meters

Length: 5 meters.

Confirms the 16 meters perimeter.
