Question

if the sides of a triangle are 5,12 and n write an equality that expresses the value n may have

Answer 1

Is n the hypotenuse or not?

Answer 2

If it is, use c^2=a^2+b^2.

If not, use a^2=c^2-b^2 or

b^2=c^2-a^2

Answer 3

sqaure root n^2 and the other side to solve for n

Answer 4

choices 5<n<12,5<n<12(with underline under the pointys),7<n<17,7<n<12

someone please

Answer 10

help please

Answer 11

The sum of two sides of a triangle is always GREATER than the third side.
Therefore, 5 + 12 > n
17 > n
or n < 17

Answer 12

would that be a then?

Answer 13

5<n<12?

Answer 14

According to this site
http://www.1728.org/trianinq.htm
Third side must be greater than 7 and less than 17
7 < third side < 17

Answer 15

@ranga but n may NOT be the longest side, it could be shorter than 12 too. So it should be 7<n<17

Answer 16

gotcha, thanks

Answer 17

Yes, true.

Answer 18
