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)

Devon made a scale drawing of a triangle. He used a scale factor of 1/4 to draw the new triangle. How does each side of the new
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is Option A.
Scale Factors
If the Scale Factor IS 1, the polygon stays the SAME.
(If an equilateral triangle has a side length of 8 and the scale factor is 1, the sides will stay at 8)
If the Scale Factor is MORE THAN 1, the polygon's sides INCREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 3 and the scale factor is 4, the sides will increase to 12)
If the Scale Factor is LESS THAN 1, the polygon's sides DECREASE depending on what the scale factor is.
(If a square has a side length of 5 and the scale factor is 1/2, the side lengths will decrease down to 0.5)
Therefore each side length of the new triangle is 4 times shorter than the original (Option A)
