The side lengths could be 10, 24 and 26 units.

We must first find the side lengths.  We use the distance formula to do this.

For RT:
d=\sqrt{(11--1)^2+(-1--1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{(11+1)^2+(-1+1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{12^2+0^2}=\sqrt{144}=12

For ST:
d=\sqrt{(11-11)^2+(4--1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{0^2+(4+1)^2}=\sqrt{5^2}=\sqrt{25}=5

For TR:
d=\sqrt{(11--1)^2+(4--1)^2}
\\=\sqrt{(11+1)^2+(4+1)^2}=\sqrt{12^2+5^2}=\sqrt{144+25}=\sqrt{169}=13

Our side lengths, from least to greatest, are 5, 12 and 13.

To be similar but not congruent, the side lengths must have the same ratio between corresponding sides but not be the same length.  10, 24 and 26 are all 2x the original side lengths, so this works.

What’s the area of a circle with the diameter of 8 feet circle
Bogdan [553]
Area equals pi r squared, and if the diameter is 8 feet, then the radius would be 4 feet. 4 squared is 16, so if you’re answering in terms of pi, it’s 16 pi but if you’re answering in terms of feet it’s about 50.27 Feet

Evaluate log3^8, given log3^2 is equivalent to 0.631
elixir [45]

We will use the followin property of logarithms:


log(a^b) = b log(a)


So, we have


log(3^2) = 2 log(3) = 0.631


If you multiply both sides by 4, you get


8log(3) = log(3^8) = 2.524
