Jasmine is making a triangular garden. Two sides of the garden measure 6 feet by 11 feet. What is the range of the possible lengths, in feet, for the third side, x, of the garden?
Accepted Solution
A:
As it is a triangle, so you start applying Pythagoras; once with 11 as the hyp. and once where x is the hyp. where x is the hyp. [tex]x= \sqrt{11 ^{2} + 6^{2} } =12.5[/tex] feet and if considering 11 as the hyp.[tex]x= \sqrt{11^2-6^2}=9.22[/tex] feet *If the equations are not shown, you simple wait till the page fully loads or refresh the page* Hope this helps.
