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.

Answer:

Option A 90,68

m\angle 1=90^o

m\angle 2=68^o

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The figure shows a kite

we know that

A kite properties include

1) two pairs of consecutive, congruent sides

2) congruent non-vertex angles

3) perpendicular diagonals

Find the measure of angle 1

we have that

m\angle 1=90^o ----> by the diagonals are perpendicular

Find the measure of angle 2

we know that

triangle AEB is congruent with triangle CEB

so

m\angle EAB=m\angle ECB=m\angle 2

In the right triangle EAB

m\angle EAB+22^o=90^o ----> by complementary angles in a right triangle

so

m\angle EAB=90^o-22^o=68^o

therefore

m\angle 2=68^o

lesya [120]

Answer:

15,120 gallons of water

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the volume, your equation is

v=length * width * height

v=30*18*4=2160 feet cubed

2160*7=15120

What is the distance between the two points (5,-2) and (-3,8)
bearhunter [10]
You need to use the distance formula
d =  \sqrt{ {(x - x)}^{2}  +  {(y - y)}^{2} }

\sqrt{ {(5 + 3)}^{2}  +  {( - 2 - 8)}^{2} }
so the distance between points (5,-2) and (-3,8) is
2 \sqrt{41}
which won't simplify so it stays as is
