Answer:

The smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 19\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The triangle inequality theorem, states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Let

x-----> the length of longest side

Applying the triangle inequality theorem

case A)

10+15 > x

25 > x

Rewrite

x< 25

case B)

10+x > 15

x > 15-10

x> 5

The solution of the third side is the interval-------> (5,25)

but remember that

In an obtuse triangle

x^{2} > a^{2} +b^{2}

x^{2} > 15^{2} +10^{2}

x > 18.03\ inches

Round to a whole number

x= 19\ inches

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(1)

CD = CE - DE = 8 - 2 = 6

CB = CD = 6 ( given as congruent ) , thus

AC = AB + CB = 4 + 6 = 10

(2)

∠ 2 + ∠ BCD + ∠ DCF  = 180° ( sum of angles on a straight line )

∠ 2 + 60° + 70° = 180°

∠ 2 + 130° = 180° ( subtract 130° from both sides )

∠ 2 = 50°
