Answer:

<h2>The answer is 13.86</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is a right angled triangle we can use Pythagoras theorem to find the missing side x

Using Pythagoras theorem we have

a² = b² + c²

where

a is the hypotenuse

We have

{16}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {8}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  =  {16}^{2}  -  {8}^{2}  \\  {x}^{2}  = 256 - 64 \\  {x}^{2}  = 192 \\ x =  \sqrt{192}  \\ x = 8 \sqrt{3}  \\ x = 13.8564...

We have the final answer as

<h3>13.86 to the nearest hundredth</h3>

Hope this helps you

Find a right triangle that has legs with your irrational Lengths and a hypotenuse with a rational Length
cluponka [151]

gg easy


the legs of a triangle are related as a^2+b^2=c^2 wehre a, b, and c are the legs and the hypotonuse of a triangle respectively


let's find some stuff

one easy way is to find a rational value for c find values of a and b

lets pick c=5

a^2+b^2=5^2

a^2+b^2=25

now split up 25 into 2 things that don't have rational square roots

if we say a^2=19 and b^2=6 then we get

a=\sqrt{19} and b=\sqrt{6} (which are both irrational)

in the figure p is the incenter of isosceles rst what type of triangle is rpt? Thank you in advance .
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

\Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}

Step-by-step explanation:

As in the triangle RST,

RS=ST\ \ \ \Rightarrow m\angle SRT=m\angle STR

Because if in a triangle two angles equal one another, then the sides opposite the equal angles also equal one another.

Incenter is obtained by the Intersection of a triangle's three angle bisectors and it is equidistant from the three sides of the triangle.

So, RP and TP are the angle bisectors of ∠R and ∠T respectively.

\Rightarrow \dfrac{m\angle SRT}{2}=\dfrac{m\angle STR}{2}

\Rightarrow m\angle PRT=m\angle PTR

\Rightarrow PR=PT

\Rightarrow \Delta \text{RPT is an isosceles triangle}
