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.

If two straight lines intersect and one angle is 30 degrees what are the other three angles
mel-nik [20]
Easey peasy
oposite angle is equal
other angles are supplementary (supplementary means add to 180, and a straight line=180 so if you look at 2 lines intersecting and think for a little bit, you wiill see why)

oposite angle=30
other angle is adds to 180
30+other=180
subtract 30
other=150
other is oposite other other
other=other other
150=other other

angles are
150,30,150
