An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments of 5 cm and 3 cm long. a second side of the triangle is 7.6 cm long. find the largest and shortest possible lengths of the third side of the triangle. round answer to the nearest tenth of centimeter

Answer with explanation:

We will use angle bisector theorem to solve this problem.

Angle bisector theorem states that, the ratio of Adjacent sides containing the angle which is bisected is equal to the ratio of the segments where the angle bisector cuts the third side.

From the given Triangle

From the given information about the triangle, which is

   An angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side of the triangle into segments of 5 cm and 3 cm long. A second side of the triangle is 7.6 cm long.

So,third Side of the triangle =4.56 cm ----Shortest possible length

Or, third Side of the triangle =

    cm ----Largest possible length

18.8cm hope i at all

step-by-step explanation:

multiplication is multiplication.   it might feel harder depending on what level of math you are in, but generally it will be the same old stuff, while implementing some new concepts and methods of solving work.
