Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Longest side of ∆ = 2a = 6.2 cm
If the shortest side is, a, and we are told that the longest side is twice the shortest side, therefore, length of shortest side is
The sum of the 3 sides = perimeter = 14.5 cm
Thus,
Plug in the values of a and b
The equation that can be used to find the side lengths is
Answer:
1). Option (b)
2). Option (d)
3). Option (d)
Step-by-step explanation:
Question (1)
For Pythagoras triplet,
(Largest number)² = (Number 1)² + (Number 2)²
a). 5² = 5² + 2²
25 = 25 + 4
25 = 29
Not True.
b). 5² = 3² + 4²
25 = 9 + 16
25 = 25
True.
c). 10² = 1² + 5²
100 = 1 + 25
100 = 26
Not true.
d). 2² = 2²+ 2²
4 = 4 + 4
4 = 8
Not true.
Therefore, Option (b) is correct.
Question (2)
1 - =
=
=
Therefore, Option (d) is the answer.
Question (3)
Property of triangle → Sum of lengths of two sides of a triangle should be greater than the measure of third side.
a). 6 + 3 > 2 ⇒ 9 > 2 [True]
6 + 2 > 3 ⇒ 8 > 3 [True]
2 + 3 > 6 ⇒ 5 > 6 [False]
Triangle is not possible.
b). 2 + 8 > 3 → 10 > 3 [True]
8 + 3 > 2 → 11 > 2 [True]
2 + 3 > 8 → 5 > 8 [False]
Triangle is not possible.
c). 5.5 + 2.5 > 2.5 → 8 > 2.5 [True]
5.5 + 2.5 > 2.5 → 8 > 2.5 [True]
2.5 + 2.5 > 5.5 → 5 > 5.5 [False]
Triangle is not possible.
d). 3 + 6 > 7 → 9 > 7 [True]
3 + 7 > 6 → 10 > 6 [True]
7 + 6 > 3 → 13 > 3 [True]
These are the sides of a triangle.
Therefore, Option D is the answer.
