Answer:

  A.  √13

Step-by-step explanation:

You can make an educated guess and come to the right conclusion.

The triangle is nearly an equilateral triangle. A triangle with two sides 3 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 3. A triangle with two sides of 4 and an angle of 60° would have a third side of 4.

So, the third side must be between 3 and 4. Here is an evaluation of the answer choices:

__

A -- between 3 and 4, the correct choice

B -- 3, too short

C -- 1.73, too short

D -- more than 4, too long

__

The question can be answered using your triangle solver app on your calculator, or using the Law of Cosines.

  c = √(a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C))

  c = √(3^2 +4^2 -2·3·4·(1/2)) = √(9 +16 -12)

  c = √13 . . . . . length of the side opposite the 60° angle

Answer:

ABD ≅ ACD and PQS ≅ PRS

Step-by-step explanation:

For ABD ≅ ACD;

AB = AC = 3.5

BD = CD = 2.5

AD ≅ AD by reflexive

Since all 3 sides are congruent, SSS can be used

For PQS ≅ PRS

PQ≅PR by given

QS≅RS by given

PS≅PS by reflexive property

Since all 3 sides are congruent, SSS can be used and they are congruent
