Question:

An isosceles triangle has a base of 9.6 units long. If the congruent side lengths have measures to the first decimal place, what is the possible length of the sides? 9.7, 4.9, or 4.7

Answer:

4.9 is the shortest possible length of the sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The base of the triangle base  =   9.2 units

To Find:

The shortest possible length of the sides = ?

Solution:

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

So According to the theorem

x+x > 9.6

2x > 9.6

x > \frac{9.6}{2}

x > 4.8

In the given option 4.9 is the shortest length greater than 4.8 that can be possible.

Answer:

Ratio = 2 : 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ratio = 8 : 60

Required

Write in the simplest form

Ratio = 8 : 60

Divide by 2

Ratio = 8/2 : 60/2

Ratio = 4 : 30

Divide by 2

Ratio = 4/2 : 30/2

Ratio = 2 : 15

<em>The expression cannot be further simplified.</em>

aleksley [76]
Check the picture.

Note that reflecting triangle ABC with respect to the x-axis, and translating it 3 units down, mapps it perfectly to A'B'C'.


Thus, the answer is: <span>△ABC is congruent to △A′B′C′ because you can map 
</span>
△ABC to △A′B′C′ using a reflection across the x-axis followed by a translation 3 units down, which is a sequence of rigid motions.
