Two sides of an isosceles triangle measure 8 inches and 3 inches. What must be the length of the third side of the triangle?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is isosceles so the answer is either 3 or 8.

You might think there are 2 answers. There are not. The base is 3 inches and the two equal sides are 8 inches a piece.

If you say that there are 2 sides of 3 inches each, they add up to 6. They can't. Six is much smaller than 8 and so two sides of 3 don't even cover up the 8, let alone make a triangle.

step-by-step explanation:

*calories burned = (weight)(calorie factor)*

calories burned = 180 (0.65)

calories burned = 117

the calories he used up is 117, which is 65% of his weight.  

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to
