How long is side ac when side ab is 6 and side bc is 8 in a triangle?

If it's a right angle triangle then side ac is 10 units in length.

What is the perimeter of parallelogram abcd with ad equals 10 units ab equals 8 units ac equals 12 units ed equals 4.5 units?

If abcd is a parallelogram, then the lengths ab and ad are sufficient. The perimeter is 36 units.


What is the scale factor of the perimeters of triangle ABC and triangle WXY?

APPLYING THE SCALE FACTOR OF SIMILAR TRIANGLES TO THE PERIMETER The scale factor of two similar triangles (or any geometric shape, for that matter) is the ratio between two corresponding sides. In today's lesson, we will show that this same scale factor also applies to the ratio of the two triangles' perimeter. This is fairly easy to show, so today's lesson will be short. PROBLEM Two triangles, ΔABC and ΔADE are similar, ΔABC∼ ΔADE. The scale factor, AB/AD is 6/5. Find the ratio of the perimeters of the two triangles. Similar triangles in geometry STRATEGY We will use the definition of the scale factor to define one set of sides in terms of the other set of sides, Then, apply the definition of the perimeter. and write out the perimeter of both triangles using one set of sides. SOLUTION (1) ΔABC∼ ΔADE //Given (2) AB/AD = 6/5 //Given (3) BC/DE = 6/5 //(1), (2), scale factor is the same for all sides in similar triangles. (4) AC/AE = 6/5 //(1), (2), scale factor is the same for all sides in similar triangles. (5) AB = 6/5*AD // rearrange (2) (6) BC = 6/5*DE // rearrange (3) (7) AC = 6/5*AE // rearrange (4) (8) PABC=AB+BC+AC //definition of perimeter (9) PADE=AD+DE+AE //definition of perimeter (10)PABC=6/5AD+6/5DE+ 6/5*AE //(8), (5), (6) , (7), Transitive property of equality (11)PABC=6/5*(AD+DE+AE) //(10), Distributive property of multiplication (12) PABC=6/5*PADE //(11), (9), Transitive property of equality (13) PABC/PADE=6/5 And so we have easily shown that the scale factor of similar triangles is the same for the perimeters.

The diagonals of square abcd intersect at e if ae equals 2 find to perimeter of abcd?

First of all we work out the length of a sides ab, bc, CD, & ad. We know that ab = bc = CD = ad also ae = ac/2 If a to e = 2 then ac = 4 so ab2 + bc2 = ac2 2ab2 = 16 ab2 = 8 ab = 2.8284271247461900976033774484194 so the perimeter = ab * 4 = 11.31

Triangle abc is a right triangle if ac is 15 and bc is 17 what is ab?

Depends which angle is right... If it's angle acb then ab = sqrt(225 + 289) ie 22.67; if it's angle bac then ab = sqrt(289 - 225) ie 8, which seems the more likely.


If ad is 10 units and ab is 8 units what is the measure of bc?

If ad is 10 units and ab is 8 units what is the measure of dc?

Given that AB = 8 units and AD = 10 units, we can use the ratios of corresponding sides in similar triangles to find the measure of DC. Since triangle ADC is similar to triangle ABC, the ratio of DC to AB is equal to the ratio of AD to AC. Thus, DC/8 = 10/AC. Solving for DC, DC = 8 * 10 / AC.
