The triangle below has a total perimeter of 450 cm:

picture of a triangle with sides 128 and 150. third side unknown

write an equation and solve it to find the length of the longest side of the triangle.

option c is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

the rule regarding the sides of triangle is:

(length of longest side)^2 = square of sum of other two sides.

the sides given are:

6, 10 and 8.

applying the rule we will get:

(10)^2 = (6)^2 + (8)^2

100 = 36+64

100 = 100

so, her answer is incorrect.

no, she should have added 6^2 and 8^2 and compared that to 10^2.

so, option c is correct.

it can increase the size of the tip you would spend, since it's adding to the money you'd already have to pay.
