Answer:

Option 2 - 3.2 inches.                      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches.

To find : What is the difference between the two possible  lengths of the third side of the triangle?

Solution :

According to question, it is a right angle triangle

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

H^2=P^2+B^2

Where, H is the hypotenuse the longer side of the triangle

P is the perpendicular

B is the base

Assume that H=8 inches and B = 5 inches

Substitute the value in the formula,

8^2=P^2+5^2

64=P^2+25

P^2=64-25

P^2=39

P=\sqrt{39}

P=6.24

Assume that P=8 inches and B = 5 inches

Substitute the value in the formula,

H^2=8^2+5^2

H^2=64+25

H^2=89

H=\sqrt{89}

H=9.43

Therefore, The possible length of the third side of the triangle is

L=H-P

L=9.43-6.24

L=3.19

Therefore, The difference between the two possible  lengths of the third side of the triangle is 3.2 inches.

So, Option 2 is correct.

What is a conversion factor that you can use to convert gallons to pints.How did you find it
swat32
To convert gallons to pints, multiply the gallons by 8. Since there are 4 quarts in a gallon and 2 pints in each quart, you multiply by 8 since 4*2 is 8.
