Answer:

Two equal sides = 14.4 inches each

Shortest side = 7.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

a + b + c = 36

a = b

a = 2c

then:

c = a/2

a + a + a/2 = 36

2a + a/2 = 36

4a/2 + a/2 = 36

5a/2 = 36

a = 2*36/5

a = 72/5

a = 14.4

a = 2c

14.4 = 2*c

c = 14.4/2

c = 7.2

a = b

b = 14.4

Check:

14.4 + 14.4 + 7.2 = 36

Answer:

One of the angles in the triangle might be 50.

AND

The length of the third side must be 11cm or smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

-The triangle might be an equilateral triangle (having all the same sides and angles). False, since the triangle sum theorem states that all angles inside of a triangle must add up to 180, so an equilateral triangle would need to have all three angles at 60 degrees.

-One of the angles in the triangle must be 120 (false; it can be anything above 90, which is not only 120)

-The length of the third side must be 11cm or smaller. (True, Triangle Inequality Theorem)

-One of the angles in the triangle might be 50 (possibly, so very much true)

Elliott is standing at the top of a store escalator that leads to the ground floor below. the angle of depression from the top o
erma4kov [3.2K]

By using what we know about right triangles, we conclude that the height is 11ft.

<h3>How far is the top of the escalator from the ground floor? </h3>

We can think of this as a right triangle.

Where the length of the escalator is the hypotenuse

We know that the angle of depression is 42.51°, then the top angle of our right triangle is:

90° - 42.51° = 47.49°

Now, the height of the top of the escalator would be the adjacent cathetus to said angle, then we can use the relation:

cos(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse)

Replacing what we know:

cos(47.49°)  = height/16ft

cos(47.49°) *16ft = height = 10.8ft

Rounding to the nearest foot, we get:

height = 11ft
