<span>Based in the information given in the problem, you must apply the The Angle Bisector Theorem. Let's call the triangle: "ABC"; the internal bisector of the angle that divides its opposite side: "AP"; and "x": the longest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle.
If BP= 6 cm and CP= 5 cm, we have:
BP/CP = AB/AC
We don't know if second side of the triangle (6.9 centimeters long) is AB or AC, so:
1. If AB = 6.9 cm and AC = x:
6/5 = 6.9/x
x = (5x6.9)/6
x = 5.80 cm
2. If AC= 6.9 cm and AB= x:
6/5 = x/6.9
x = 6.9x6/5
x = 8.30 cm
Then, the answer is:
The longest possible length of the third side of the triangle is 8.30 cm and the and shortest length of it is 5.80 cm.</span>
Geometric proofs can be written in one of two ways: two columns, or a
paragraph. A paragraph proof is only a two-column proof written in
sentences. However, since it is easier to leave steps out when writing a
paragraph proof, we'll learn the two-column method.
A two-column geometric proof consists of a list of
statements, and the reasons that we know
those statements are true. The statements are listed in a column on the left,
and the reasons for which the statements can be made are listed in the right
column. Every step of the proof (that is, every conclusion that is made) is a
row in the two-column proof.

Answer:
B. 80 cm of chain weighs 2 kg.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to choose the correct answer, we need to define the comparative relation between the length and weight of the chain. We will do this by performing the simple operation of division.
It is easier to divide the larger number by the smaller and that is what we will show here (although <em>you can do as you wish and still get the same result</em> - it's math!):
320 ÷ 8 = 40
The result we got is 40. This means that <u>the length of the chain is equal to the value of forty of its weights!</u> And this will be the operation we will perform in order to determine the right answer:
A) Does 2 (kg) multiplied by 40 equal 40 (cm)? No, therefore, it is incorrect.
B) Does 2 (kg) multiplied by 40 equal 80 (cm)? <u>Yes, this answer is correct!</u>
Just in case, we will perform this action with the rest of the possible choices:
C) 4 kg × 40 = 160 and NOT 80 cm.
D) 2 kg × 40 = 80 and NOT 160 cm.
