How do you figure out what the length of a side of an octagon is?
You cannot figure out the length of an octagon without a lot more information. Alternatively, you can measure the lengths of the sides.
How is altitude used in geometry?
It can be used as a side length, which has many possibilities to figure with.
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 5 and 13?
To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side. If the side of length 13 is the longest side then the missing side must be greater than 13 - 5 = 8 If the missing side is the longest side then the missing side must be less than 13 + 5 = 18 Thus any length that is greater than 8 and less than 18 Examples include: 9, 12, 17 If the third side is 12, the triangle is a Pythagorean triangle.
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 8 and 10?
To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side.If the side of length 10 is the longer side then the missing side must be greater than 10 - 8 = 2;If the missing side is the longer side then the missing side must be less than 8 + 10 = 18.Thus any length that is greater than 2 and less than 18.Examples include: 7, 10, 8, 4.
What could be the length of the third side of a triangle that has two sides of lengths 10 and 10?
To create a triangle, the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the third side. If one of the sides of length 10 is the longer side then the missing side must be greater than 10 - 10 = 0 If the missing side is the longest side then the missing side must be less than 10 + 10 = 20 Thus any length that is greater than 0 and less than 20. Examples include: 1, 5, 10, 19
