Question

i got the first part of the question but not the second, help? Medal will be given!

Answer 1

First part is 41.4 but i keep getting 5.75 for the second part.

Answer 2

How did you get 41.4 ?

Answer 3

x/6.9=6/5

Answer 4

Maybe I didn't understand the problem well, but it seems to me 41.4 is not possible since 41.4>(5+6)+6.9

Answer 5

still don't see how it could be more than 17.9

Answer 6

Answer 9

Wait, i think i see what i did wrong, i'm not getting 8.28 for the first part, i did 5/6=6.9/x

Answer 10

still getting 5.75 for the second part, so the most reasonable answer would be D, right?

Answer 11

Yeah

Answer 12

Here's how you do it
For the first 6.9/5=x/6 so xmax=8.3
For the second x/5=6.9/6 so xmin=5.8

Answer 13

O.K. There is two possibilities using the ratio as shown in the link, you can get 5.75 or
8.28

Answer 14

The last choice is the best choice. You forgot to divide the 41.4 by 5.

Answer 15

Please note that there are two possible triangles, but they are two specific triangles,
defined by the given info.
