A 50-foot pole and a 70-foot pole are 30 feet apart. If you were to run a line between the tops of the two poles, what is the minimum length of cord you would need? The difference between the 70 foot and 50 foot pole is: 70 - 50 = 20 foot height difference. So we have a right triangle, with a height of 20, base of 30. We want to know the hypotenuse.

A bird was sitting 12 meters from the base of an oak tree and flew 15 meters to reach the top of the tree. How tall is the tree? So we have a [U]right triangle[/U]. Hypotenuse is 15. Base is 12. We want the length of the leg. The formula for a right triangle relation of sides is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the sides Rearranging this equation to isolate a, we get a^2 = c^2 - b^2 Taking the square root of both sides, we get a = sqrt(c^2 - b^2) a = sqrt(15^2 - 12^2) a = sqrt(225 - 144) a = sqrt(81) a = [B]9 meters[/B]

A flower bed is to be 3 m longer than it is wide. The flower bed will an area of 108 m2 . What will its dimensions be? A flower bed has a rectangle shape, so the area is: A = lw We are given l = w + 3 Plugging in our numbers given to us, we have: 108 = w(w + 3) w^2 + 3w = 108 Subtract 108 from each side: w^2 + 3w - 108 = 0 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/quadratic.php?num=w%5E2%2B3w-108%3D0&pl=Solve+Quadratic+Equation&hintnum=+0']Type this problem into our search engine[/URL], and we get: w = (9, -12) Since length cannot be negative, w = 9. And l = 9 + 3 --> l = 12 So we have [B](l, w) = (12, 9)[/B] Checking our work, we have: A = (12)9 A = 108 <-- Match!

A helicopter rose vertically 300 m and then flew west 400 m how far was the helicopter from it’s starting point? The distance forms a right triangle. We want the distance of the hypotenuse. Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/pythag.php?side1input=300&side2input=400&hypinput=&pl=Solve+Missing+Side']right triangle calculator[/URL], we get a distance of [B]500[/B]. We also could use a shortcut on this problem. If you divide 300 and 400 by 100, you get 3 and 4. Since we want the hypotenuse, you get the famous 3-4-5 triangle ratio. So the answer is 5 * 100 = 500.

A young dad, who was a star football player in college, set up a miniature football field for his five-year-old young daughter, who was already displaying an unusual talent for place-kicking. At each end of the mini-field, he set up goal posts so she could practice kicking extra points and field goals. He was very careful to ensure the goalposts were each straight up and down and that the crossbars were level. On each set, the crossbar was six feet long, and a string from the top of each goalpost to the midpoint between them on the ground measured five feet. How tall were the goalposts? How do you know this to be true? The center of each crossbar is 3 feet from each goalpost. We get this by taking half of 6, since midpoint means halfway. Imagine a third post midway between the two goal posts. It has the same height as the two goalposts. From the center post, the string from the top of a goalpost to the base of the center post, and half the crossbar form and right triangle with hypotenuse 5 feet and one leg 3 feet.

The length of the flag is 2 cm less than 7 times the width. The perimeter is 60cm. Find the length and width. A flag is a rectangle shape. So we have the following equations Since P = 2l + 2w, we have 2l + 2w = 60 l = 7w - 2 Substitute Equation 1 into Equation 2: 2(7w -2) + 2w = 60 14w - 4 + 2w = 60 16w - 4 = 60 Add 4 to each side 16w = 64 Divide each side by 16 to isolate w w = 4 Which means l = 7(4) - 2 = 28 - 2 = 26

The perimeter of a rectangle is 400 meters. The length is 15 meters less than 4 times the width. Find the length and the width of the rectangle. l = 4w - 15 Perimeter = 2l + 2w Substitute, we get: 400 = 2(4w - 15) + 2w 400 = 8w - 30 + 2w 10w - 30 = 400 Add 30 to each side 10w = 370 Divide each side by 10 to isolate w w = 37 Plug that back into our original equation to find l l = 4(37) - 15 l = 148 - 15 l = 133 So we have (l, w) = (37, 133)

The perpendicular height of a right-angled triangle is 70 mm longer than the base. Find the perimeter of the triangle if its area is 3000. [LIST] [*]h = b + 70 [*]A = 1/2bh = 3000 [/LIST] Substitute the height equation into the area equation 1/2b(b + 70) = 3000 Multiply each side by 2 b^2 + 70b = 6000 Subtract 6000 from each side: b^2 + 70b - 6000 = 0 Using our [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/quadratic.php?num=b%5E2%2B70b-6000%3D0&pl=Solve+Quadratic+Equation&hintnum=+0']quadratic calculator[/URL], we get: b = 50 and b = -120 Since the base cannot be negative, we use b = 50. If b = 50, then h = 50 + 70 = 120 The perimeter is b + h + hypotenuse Using the [URL='http://www.mathcelebrity.com/righttriangle.php?angle_a=&a=70&angle_b=&b=50&c=&pl=Calculate+Right+Triangle']right-triangle calculator[/URL], we get hypotenuse = 86.02 Adding up all 3 for the perimeter: 50 + 70 + 86.02 = [B]206.02[/B]

The ratio of the measures of the 3 angles of a triangle is 1:2:3. What is the measure of the largest
The ratio of the measures of the 3 angles of a triangle is 1:2:3. What is the measure of the largest angle in degrees? Let the smallest angle be x. Then we have 3 angles based on the ratio: x, 2x, 3x We know the sum of the angles of a triangle equals 180. So we have: x + 2x + 3x = 180 6x = 180 Divide each side by 6: 6x/6 = 180/6 x = 30 The largest angle is 3(30) = [B]90 [MEDIA=youtube]l8Lc6YtK9dg[/MEDIA][/B]

The sides of a triangle are consecutive numbers. If the perimeter of the triangle is 240 m, find the length of each side Let the first side be n. Next side which is consecutive is n + 1 Next side which is consecutive is n + 1 + 1 = n + 2 So we have the sum of 3 consecutive numbers is 240.

There is an escalator that is 1090.3 feet long and drops a vertical distance of 193.4 feet. What is its angle of depression? The sin of the angle A is the length of the opposite side / hypotenuse. sin(A) = Opposite / Hypotenuse sin(A) = 193.4 / 1090/3 sin(A) = 0.1774 [URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/anglebasic.php?entry=0.1774&pl=arcsin']We want the arcsin(0.1774)[/URL].

Triangle Inequality
Free Triangle Inequality Calculator - This calculator displays 2 scenarios
1) Enter 3 sides of a triangle, and it will determine if the side lengths satisfy the properties of the triangle inequality and form a triangle
2) Enter 2 sides of a triangle, and this will determine an acceptable range for the length of the 3rd side of a triangle so that the 3rd side respects the Triangle Inequality.
