Question

(40 points.) Amanda is using wire to construct a triangle for an art project. She has 4 in of blue wire in a tin of green water. Amanda is going to buy some purple wire for the third side of a triangle. She needs to buy enough water to make a triangle, but does not want to have any water left over. What is the least amount and the greatest amount of purple wire she could buy?

Answer 1

I’m pretty sure you have to use a^2+b^2=c2 so 8^2+4^2= c^2
C^2=80
Square Root of 80 is 8.94 so I’m pretty sure that’s your answer

Answer 2

B is base so its 4 i think and the others which are the sides i think its 8 if u get this wrong im sorry
