An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments 1.5 cm and 1 cm long. A second side of t

he triangle is 2.6 cm long. Find all possible lengths of the third side of the triangle. Round answers to the nearest tenth of a centimeter. (Hint: Draw a picture of the triangle, label one side with 2.6 cm, and solve for the other side. Then, move the 2.6 cm to the other side and solve.)

By the angle bisector theorem, one of the lengths of the third side of the triangle is given by:
1.5 / 1 = x / 2.6
x = 1.5 x 2.6 = 3.9
One of the possible length of the third side is 3.9 cm

The other possible length is given by 1 / 1.5 = x / 2.6
1.5x = 2.6
x = 2.6/1.5 = 1.7
The other possible length of the third side is 1.7 cm.

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

A=20,000 m2 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that Volume (V) =300,000 m3, so V=A*h, where A=area (m2) and h=15m

V=A*h ⇒ 300,000m3=A*15m ⇒ A=300,000m3/15m ⇒ A=20,000 m2

A family drive 50 mph to Disneyland and return home at 40mph find the distance if the total driving time was 7.2 hours?
Neko [114]
First, let's initialize a variable called 'h' that will represent the number of hours it took to drive to Disneyland (you could do from if you wanted, in the end it doesn't really matter)

Since we know that the distance there and back is the exact same, we can make the following equation:
50(h) = 40(7.2 - h)

We know we can write this equation because rate multiplied by time is distance. We also know that the time to come back is 7.2 minus h, since h represents the time going there.

Simplify:
5(h) = 4(7.2 - h)
5h = 28.8 - 7h
12h = 28.8
h = 2.4

Now that we have the time it took to drive there, we can simply multiply it by the rate to find distance:

50*2.4 = 120

The distance to Disneyland is 120 miles.

If you need me to explain anything here, just ask :)

Answer:

1 & 2 = Right Triangles

3 & 4 = Not Right Triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Solved Using Pythagorean Theorem:

1) 9^{2} + 12^{2} = 225

15^{2} = 225

2) 15^{2} + 36^{2} = 1521

39^{2} = 1521

3) 10^{2} + 26^{2} = 776

28^{2} = 784

4) 10^{2} + 12^{2} = 244

16^{2} = 256
