Answer:

One side is 6 (bottom of triangle) and two sides are 8 (two main sides of the triangle)

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason this is is because two sides of a regular triangle are the same while one is not. (The bottom of the triangle) So, the bottom is shorter than the sides.

Answer: The possible length of the third side is 10 inches.

Step-by-step explanation: One of the rules for calculating the side of a triangle in mathematics is the Pythagoras theorem. However, for the Pythagoras theorem to be applied, the triangle must be a right angled triangle. In the question above, we have two sides in a triangle given as 6 inches and 8 inches.

The Pythagoras theorem states that, in any right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (longest side) must be equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Hence, AC^2 = BC^2 + AB^2

Where AC is the hypotenuse and BC and AB are the other two sides. We now have,

AC^2 = 8^2 + 6^2

AC^2 = 64 + 36

AC^2 = 100

Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation

AC = 10.

Therefore the length of the third side measures 10 inches. (This is only possible if the triangle is a right angled triangle)

Answer:

14.9

Step-by-step explanation:

First you square 14 which is 196, then you square 5 which is 25. You would then add them which is 221. You find the square root of 221, that is 14.8660687473 . The answer says to round to the nearest tenth which becomes 14.9.

Hope this helps:)

How to simplify radicals into simplest radical form?
liraira [26]
An example should help :-

Simplify sqrt 20:-

sqrt 20  = sqrt (4 * 5) = sqrt 4 * sqrt5  = 2 sqrt5

cube root of 54  = cube root 27 * cube root 2  = 3 cube root 2

The rule is to factor the number and look for perfect squares or  cubes, etc.

Marco picked answer A for the following problem. Why is that not the correct answer? (NO LINKS)
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

This is not correct because the organic rice line in Graph A is increasing more than the conventional rice line. This is why the x- and y-labels are important: organic rice in Graph A; you are able to get more pounds for the same amount of weight. If organic rice costs more, you should get less pounds of rice. Graph B shows this relationship because the conventional rice line is higher than the orangic rice line, which indicates that you can get more conventional rice than organic rice at the same price, which is what the question says.
