any one help!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think you can find a missing length without the perimeter or area (or whatever information it told you to help you find the missing side length).

OpenStudy (zuha):

Here's the question Which value could be the length of the missing side of the triangle? The triangle is in attached file.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's it?

OpenStudy (zuha):

The options to the question are; 5; 7; 17; 12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It didn't give you any information to help you find the missing side length?

OpenStudy (zuha):

well, it does show that one side of the triangle is 12, the other 5, and the last one x, as shown in the picture ( the picture is in the file)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would think it would be 12. But I am not sure. Sorry :S

OpenStudy (zuha):

This has to do with angles (if it may help)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well okay, I'll try my best to guide you. First, what's the angle of a triangle?

OpenStudy (zuha):

It's a obtuse Triangle, one corner is obtuse, and two are acute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what's the sum of angles for this triangle>

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well actually, the more I look at it, there is one right angle and two acute.

OpenStudy (zuha):

A right angle is when there is a square there, when there isn't, it could possibly be 91 degrees or 89 degrees, but not 90 (as I've learned in school)

OpenStudy (zuha):

Sorry, I don't know if I can help you.
