Question

Mariah wants to create a triangular flower bed and border it with scraps of picket fence that

she has left over from another project. One scrap is 2.2 feet long, a second scrap is 4.25 feet
long, and the third scrap is 5.75 feet long. If she uses these three pieces of fencing as the
border, what kind of triangle will form the shape of her flower bed?

Answer 1

The kind of triangle that will form the shape of her flower bed is;

A scalene triangle

Explanation:

In creating the triangular flower bed, the length of the scraps Mariah uses are;

The length of one scrap = 2.2 feet long

The length of the second scrap = 4.25 feet long

The length of the third scrap = 5.75 feet long

From the given length of the scraps, the kind of triangle that will form the shape of her flower bed is a scalene triangle

A scalene triangle is a triangle that the length of all the three sides are different and the measures of the three interior angles of the triangle are therefore also different
