Triangle A B C is shown. Side A C has a length of 27. Side C B has a length of 54.
Based on the diagram, which expresses all possible lengths of segment AB?

AB = 25
27 81

Respuesta :

Based on the diagram, the expression which shows the possible length of segment AB shows that 27 < AB < 81

A triangle that does not have equal sides and angles is known as a scalene triangle.

From the figure attached below, let's have a triangle ABC by using the parameter in the instructions given.

where;

  • side |AC| = 27
  • side |CB| = 54
  • side |AB| = ???

We can use the Pythagoras rule to determine the side |AB|.

Pythagoras rule states that the sum of the hypotenuse squared is equal to both the sum of the opposite squared and adjacent squared.

hyp² = opp² + adj²

AC² = AB² + CB²

54² = AB² + 27²

[tex]\mathbf{AB^2 = 54^2 - 27^2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{AB^2 = 2187}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{AB =\sqrt{ 2187}}[/tex]

AB = 47

Therefore, we can conclude that the expression which shows the possible length of segment AB shows that 27 < AB < 81.
