Answer:

not a right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

you can use the pythagorean theorem to prove whether not this is a right triangle

if this triangle is a right triangle then the following equality should be true

a²+b²=c²

(9.75)²+(3.45)²=(10.24)²

(95.06)+(11.90)=(104.86)

106.96≠104.86

since the following equality is not true, this is not a right triangle.

Is it possible to form a triangle with side lengths 3.5 3.5, and 9? If so, will it be scalene, isosceles, or equilateral? Or non

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

It is not possible to draw a triangle with given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scalene Triangle - All 3 sides have different lengths.

Isosceles Triangle - 2 sides have equal lengths.

Equilateral Triangle - All 3 sides have equal lengths.

You must be thinking that it would be Isosceles triangle, but it is not. The measurements you gave is 3.5, 3.5, and 9. Grab a piece of paper, ruler, and a pencil. First draw the length of 9 cm with your pencil and ruler (let us pretend that the measurements are in cm). Then draw 3.5 cm by placing your ruler on the end/start of your 9cm line that you drew before. Then, once again draw a 3.5 cm on the other end of the 9cm line. You will see something like the picture above. You can see that the two sides of the triangle are not intersecting on the top. This means that the triangle formation cannot be made by the given measurements of 3.5, 3.5, and 9.

I hope you understand my answer and this is an easy way to find if, from the given measurements, a triangle is able to be drawn. Thank you !!

miskamm [114]

Hello!

This is an example of theoretical probability. If you rolled the die 1,000 times, you would probably roll red about 333 times. On average, this is 1/3, and with a die it is 2/6. As you can see, it will be rolled 2/6 of the time on average, so our answer is A) 2.

I hope this helps!
