YOU have a circle with a traingle inside one side is (8x-10) and the other is (6x) and the bottom is (10x+10)
SAYS:
find X
is the triangle equilateral, isosceles, or scalene
explain
Can someone please help me withthis problem..
To find the value of x, we can start by considering the given triangle.
An equilateral triangle has all sides equal in length, while an isosceles triangle has two sides equal in length. A scalene triangle has no sides equal in length.
We can start by setting up equations based on the given information. The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. In this case, we'll use this property for each pair of sides:
(8x - 10) + (6x) > (10x + 10)
14x - 10 > 10x + 10
4x > 20
x > 5
Now that we know x must be greater than 5, we can analyze the sides of the triangle further.
If we substitute x = 6 into the expression for each side, we can determine if the triangle is equilateral, isosceles, or scalene.
Side 1 = (8(6) - 10) = 38
Side 2 = (6(6)) = 36
Side 3 = (10(6) + 10) = 70
Since all three sides have different lengths, the triangle is a scalene triangle.
In summary, the value of x must be greater than 5, and the given triangle is a scalene triangle.
