Answer:

A: 8 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

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.

Since if we add the side of 4 and 8 it equals to 12, which is not greater than 12, meaning this would be a line if you tried to draw it, leading to the conclusion that A is not possible

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If ΔABC ~ ΔPQR

$\frac{PQ}{AB} =\frac{QR}{BC} = \frac{RP}{CA}$

$\frac{AB}{PQ} =\frac{BC}{QR} =\frac{CA}{RP}$

What is the value of x<br><br> Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6

Grace [21]

Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14
