As you probably know, triangles have 3 sides. The longest side is called the hypotenuse. In this case, the hypotenuse is 10.3. Now, you might or might not know the pythagorean theorem, which states that the <em>a² + b² =c ². </em>
In this case, we can say that 4.4 is <em>a </em>and 8.3 is <em>b. </em>Now if we square 4.4 and add it to 8.3 squared, we get 88.25. However, if you square 10.3, you get 106.09. Thus, the values cannot be this way. So, your answer is no.
Aziza’s claim is incomplete. The third side must be between 4 in. and 26 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
With the Triangle Inequality Theorem, saying that the sum of lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. With this we can develop two inequalities:
11 + 15 > x
26 > x
rewrite this as x < 26
11 + x > 15
x > 15 - 11 Subtract 11 from both sides
x > 4
Therefore, the third side can be anywhere greater than 4 inches and less than and less than 26 inches.
