Two sides of an isosceles triangle have lengths of 3 and 10. Find the length of the third side.

Mathematics

Answer:

The third side must be 10:  {3, 10, 10}; {10, 3, 3} is not possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything depends on our understanding of "isosceles."

This term indicates that two sides of a given triangle are equal.

If two sides of an isosceles triangle have lengths of 3 and 10, then:

Either 1)  Two sides have length 10 and the third side has length 3.  This is certainly possible

or

2)  sides have length 3 and the third side has length 10.  This is NOT possible, since 3 + 3 adds up to 6, which is less than 10.

In a sample of 10 cards, 4 are red and 6 are blue. If 2 cards are selected at random from the sample, one at a time without repl

The exact answer in fraction from is 2/15

The approximate answer in decimal form is 0.1333 (rounded to four decimal places)

The decimal value 0.1333 is equivalent to 13.33%

These are three ways to say the same basic answer.

===============================================

Explanation:

We have 4 red cards and 6 blue cards giving 4+6 = 10 total.

The probability of picking not blue (aka picking red) is 4/10 because there are 4 red out of 10 total.

If we don't replace the card we picked, then we have 3 red left over out of 9 total. The probability of picking red again is 3/9

Multiply those fractions
(4/10)*(3/9) = (4*3)/(10*9) = 12/90

Now reduce
12/90 = (6*2)/(6*15) = 2/15
note how the GCF 6 cancels

Using a calculator, 
2/15 = 0.1333 approximately
The '3's after the decimal point go on forever.
