Answer:
The possible lengths of the third side is all real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
<u>The Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>. states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side
Let
x -----> the possible lengths of the third side
Applying the Inequality Theorem
1) 12+8 > x
20 > x
Rewrite
x < 20 in
2) 8+x > 12
x> 12-8
x > 4 in
therefore
4 in < x < 20 in
The possible lengths of the third side is all real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches
3.125 as a fraction is 25/8
theta is in the fourth quadrant where the cosine is positive.
the third side in the triangle = sqrt (4 - 2) = sqrt2
So sin theta = -sqrt2/2 = Second choice (negative because sine is negative in 4th quadrant)
tan theta = - sqrt2 / sqrt2 = -1
