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.

How does the volume of an oblique cylinder change if the radius is reduced to 2/9 of its original size and the height is quadrup
vesna_86 [32]
Volume of a cylinder = π r² h

Let us assume the following values:
radius = 9
height = 10

Volume = 3.14 * 9² * 10
            = 3.14 * 81 *10
Volume = 2,543.40

Changes:
radius is reduced to 2/9 of its original size = 9 x 2/9 = 2
height is quadrupled = 10 x 4 = 40

Volume = π r² h
             = 3.14 * 2² * 40
             = 3.14 * 4 * 40
Volume = 502.40

Original volume = 2543.40   V.S.  Volume after change = 502.40

The volume of an oblique cylinder decreased when its radius was decreased to 2/9 of its original size and its height is increased 4 times.
