If the sides of an isosceles triangle are 5 and 8 what is the third side?

The third side would be either 5 or 8,as an isosceles triangle has 2 equal sides.


How are isosceles and scalene different?

An isosceles triangle has two sides that are equal length, and the other side would be a different length. A right triangle could be an isosceles triangle. On the other hand, a scalene triangle has all of its sides different lengths.


Can a triangle with a 4 inch side have a 55 and 35 degree angle?

A triangle with 1 side only measuring 4 inches can have two of its angles measuring 55° and 35°. The side would be either the hypotenuse or one other other sides of a right angled triangle. NOTE : A triangle with two of the three sides measuring 4 inches cannot have one of its angles measuring 55° and one other measuring 35° as the two sides of equal length would define it as an isosceles triangle. Therefore two of its angles are equal. If the two equal angles measured 35° each, then the third angle would equal 110°. If the two equal angles measured 55° each then the third angle would equal 70°. A triangle with all three sides measuring 4 inches has all three angles measuring 60° . It is an equilateral triangle.


Are opposite sides parallel on a triangle?

Never, there are no true "opposite sides" on a triangle as each side intersects the other two at a point. Were two of the lines parallel, the triangle would be missing a point and would not be a closed shape.


Why does a triangles have three sides and three angles?

That is the definition of a triangle. If it did not have three sides it would not be a triangle. If it did not have three angles, it would not be a triangle.

If you have 3 sides and all of your sides are different lengths what figure are you?

You are a scalene triangle. If you were to have two of the same sides similar, you would be an isoceles triangle. If you were to have all of your sides the same, you would be an equilateral triangle.


Can 25 46 and 65 be the lengths of a triangle?

YES For a triangle to exist then the sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side. 25 + 46 = 71 > 65 25 + 65 = 90 > 46 46 + 65 = 111 > 25 If the sum of two sides equalled the third side then you would have two straight lines laid on top of each other. If the sum of two sides is less that the third side then it impossible to create three vertices to enable a triangle to be formed.


What triangle only have two equal sides?

No TRIangle can have two equal sides it would be an angle. A triangle with 2 equal sides is called an isosceles triangle.


How do you find the perimeter of a triangle with only one side being 45 inches?

if the triangle was an equilateral triangle, you would have been able to just multiply 45 with 3... but if the triangle was some other kind of triangle, you would have to know the other sides
