Larger triangle’s base length

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 3^2 = 8^2
a^2 = 8^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(55)
a = sqrt(55)
__________________

Smaller triangle’s base length:

The same formula applies.
a^2 + 3^2 = 5^2
a^2 = 5^2 - (3^2)
sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(16)
a = 4
____________

The finale!

Add the two side lengths of a, which is sqrt(55) + 4 (exact answer)
or... 11.416 (unrounded to thousandths place)

Good luck to you!

Nikki has 3 pieces of yarn. the first piece is 5/6 feet long the second piece is 5/3 feet long and the third piece is 3/2 oder s

I think you are asking to sort them according to the shortest to longest in length. For this, it would be helpful to write the fraction into decimal. The equivalent values are as follows:

5/6 = 0.83
5/3 = 1.67
3/2 = 1.50

Therefore, the correct sorting would be as follows:

first yarn
third yarn
second yarn

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
