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

Basile [38]
Mean=total/the number of values =>total=mean*the number of values
the total of the first set of 8 numbers is : total=8*8=64
the total of the second set of 12 numbers is: 12m
the total of the 20 numbers is: 64+12m
the mean of the 20 number is: (64+12m)/20=5
solve for m: 64+12m=100
12m=36
m=3

GEOMETRY- FIND POLYGON AREA
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a regular polygon is

A=\frac{1}{2}ap where a is the apothem and p is the perimeter. Perimeter is simple: just count the number of sides the polygon has and multiply it by 3 (the length of one side).

p = 3(9) is 27 inches for the perimeter.

We have what we need now to find the area:

A=\frac{1}{2}(4.1)(27) and

A=\frac{1}{2}( 110.7) so

A = 55.35 square inches

What is the first step when estimating the quotient of 36.6 / 5
andre [41]

Answer:

I'm assuming you have 4 options, and if so, the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding 36.6 off to 37 will make it easier to estimate the quotient when dividing by 5. For example, I can easily come up with a solution in my head when dividing 37 to 5 but it's harder for me to come up with a solution to 36.6.
