After school, hugo out at a bunny shelter called hoppy's home. he cleans cages and feeds all 8 bunnies at the shelter. in addition to food pellets, each bunny also gets an equal number of baby carrots. hugo feeds the bunnies a total of 24 baby carrots. which equation can you use to find the number of baby carrots c each bunny gets?

25.3

1_ draw a triangle

the shortest side is a which will be 8(bunnies)

diagonal will be c ( what you need to find )

the last side will be b.

so the equation is a2+b2=c2 ( 2=squared)

that means 8x8+24x24=c

8x8=64

24x24=576

then add

576+64=640

the find square root

√640=25.2982212813

simplify to 25.3

you know your answer is correct because c is always the biggest side

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

proofs involving isosceles triangles often require special consideration because an isosceles triangle has several distinct properties that do not apply to normal triangles.(more about triangle types) therefore, when you are trying to prove that two triangles are congruent, and one or both triangles, are isosceles you have a few theorems that you can use to make your life easier.

step-by-step explanation:

an isosceles triangle has two congruent sides and two congruent angles. the congruent angles are called the base angles and the other angle is known as the vertex angle. ∠bac and ∠bca are the base angles of the triangle picture on the left. the vertex angle is ∠abc
