Let
a---------> length of one of the two congruent sides of the triangle

we know that
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side (Triangle Inequality Theorem)
so
(a+a) > 8
2a > 8
a> 4
Rounded to the nearest tenth, <span>the smallest possible length of a is 4.1
</span>
the answer is
4.1 units

Aydin walks his dog Dexter regularly. Aydin walks Dexter 5 miles every 8 days. Over the last 40 days how far have Aydin and Dext
EastWind [94]
I do this differently from many people, but the answer is 25 miles. If they walk 5 miles every day, and it’s a 40 day process, you multiply 8 by 5, which equals 40. After that you multiply 5 by 5 and you get 25. Sorry if that’s hard to understand, but the answer is 25.

The sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 216. What is the third number in the sequence
alexandr1967 [171]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:  NO solution possible!


Steps:

Let "n" be the first even number. We are told that


n + (n+2) + (n+4) + (n+6) + (n +8)  = 216


The third number, the value we want, is boldfaced above.


Simplify the above equation:

5n + ( 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 ) = 216   or


5n +  20  = 216  or

5n = 196


n = 196/5   is NOT an integer value.  This problem, as stated, has no solution.

Regards, MrB
