- The approximate area of a triangle with sides of lengths 3 in., 5 in., and 6 in. is 7.48 in2. What is the approximate length of the radius of the inscribed circle?arrow_forwardIf line segment AB and line segment CD in the accompanying drawing are drawn to scale, what does intuition tell you about the length of these segments?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 39 and 42, refer to the line segments shown. Use the following theorem to construct a triangle similar to the given triangle but with sides that are twice the length of those of the given triangle. Theorem: If the lengths of the three pairs of sides for two triangles are in proportion, then those triangles are similar SSS.arrow_forward
- The ratio of the circumferences of two circles is 2:1. What is ratio of their areas?arrow_forwardA carpenter lays out boards of lengths 8 ft, 8 ft, 4 ft, and 4 ft by placing them end to end. a If these are joined at the ends to form a quadrilateral that has the 8-ft pieces connected in over, what type of quadrilateral is formed? b If these are joined at the ends to form a quadrilateral that has the 4-ft and 8-ft pieces alternating, what type of quadrilateral is formed?arrow_forwardThe perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 32cm. If the length of the altitude drawn to the base is 8cm, how long is each leg of the isosceles triangle?_arrow_forward
- a Is it really necessary to construct all three bisectors of the angles of a triangle to locate its incenter? b Is it really necessary to construct all three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle to locate its circumcenter?arrow_forwardEach side of square RSTV has length 8. Point W lies on VR- and point Y lies on TS- in such a way to form parallelogram VWSY, which has an area of 16units2. Find the length of VW-.arrow_forward
