Solution:

Given that,

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are 5 inches and 8 inches

Let the sides of the triangle are:

a = 5

b = 8

c = x

Case 1:

Let the third side be hypotenuse

By pythogoras theorem,

Therefore,

So, first possible value of the third side is 9.433 inches

Case 2

Let 8 inches is the hypotenuse of the triangle

Therefore,

What is the difference between the two possible  lengths of the third side of the triangle

Difference = 9.433 - 6.245 = 3.188

Thus the difference between the two possible  lengths of the third side of the triangle is 3.2 inches

the answer for this question is : 360°

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given a triangle   we need to tell which one of these is a triangle below to map onto itself.

360° rotation is the complete rotation which eventually leads to the same figure which is given.

the correct will be, that is 360° that will cause the triangle below to map onto itself.
