Question

Greg joins three magnetic sticks having unequal lengths to make a triangle, as shown below. What is most likely the length of the third stick?

Answer 1

Do you know the angles between them

Answer 2

A 6
B 7
C 8
D 9

Answer 3

no its doesnt say

Answer 4

What are these


A 6
B 7
C 8
D 9

Answer 5

The possible answers

Answer 6

what do u think it is?

Answer 7

well 6 is the smallest one so thats what i think it is

Answer 8

The thing here is that, i think we need at least 1 angle.
Reason being that the 3 and 4 stick can be separated by angles between 0 and 180 degrees. which will need different lenght of stick to connect both of them

Answer 9

I'd say 6 too because according to Pythagoras' theorem, the 3rd side would have been 5 if the angle at the top right was 90 degrees... but we don't know that angle... so approximately we can say 6 is the answer. besides the question is asking for what the answer will MOST LIKELY be. I'll go for 6

Answer 10

we don't have to solve for this, we just have to find what the angle will most likely be, i suppose we're supposed to use intuition to answer this question :/

Answer 11

I guess so

Answer 12

From looking at the picture. The triangle looks almost like right angle triangle so i did say 6 is the best answer

Answer 13

ok yeah thats what i thought too just making sure ! thanks guys !:D

Answer 14

anytime :)
