ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hint : SIDE opposite to smallest ANGLE is the shortest

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

So LK is the shortest?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the triangle, wats the smallest angle ?

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

LJK

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes ! LK is the shortest side !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

wats the next small angle after LJK ?

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

JKL

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so the side opposite to JKL will be next short side

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

So the answer is LK, JL, JK?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yup ! good job !!

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

Okay can you help me with this too? What is the range of possible values for x? The diagram is not to scale

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

look at the pic, the side opposite to angle 58 is 11

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

but the side opposite to angle 5x+3 is just 8 right ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

use this :- angle opposite to shorter side will be smaller

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

5x + 3 < 58 solve x

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

x<11

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, thats the upper limit. Also, the angle cannot be <= 0 so, 5x + 3 > 0 solve x

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

Is it x>-0.6?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Correct ! -0.6 < x < 11

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

Okay I just need help with one more. Given triangle DEF with D(-4,-2), (E(-1,8), and F(5,4). Find the median DT in point-slope form.

OpenStudy (annipuppi):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

draw it out
