Answer:
x=2 y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
good luck
Let us use the Pythagorean theorem in identifying what triangle can be formed.
Let us assume that the 2 wooden dowels each measure 8 inches. We cut off one wooden dowel into half, so it becomes 2 pcs of 4 inches each.
The 3 wooden dowels now measure, 4 inches, 4 inches, and 8 inches.
The Pythagorean theorem states:
a² + b² = c²
4² + 4² = 8²
16 + 16 = 64
34 ≠ 64
The measure of the cut wooden dowel must be longer than the uncut wooden dowel to create a triangle.
I also tried this on a piece of paper, I cut each piece according to the assumed measure. No triangle can be formed under this activity.
1.) It's a parallelogram
area:
3.5 x 5.8 = 20.3
perimeter:
4 + 4 + 5.8+5.8 = 19.6
2.)It's a right triangle
<span> area:
</span> (6.92 x 11) ÷ 2 = 38.06
<span> perimeter:
</span> 6.92 + 11 + 13 = 30.96
3.) ...that looks like a square tbh xD
<span>area:
</span>4.4 x 3 = 13.2
<span>perimeter:
</span>2.4
4.) Trapezoid
