A piece of wood is cut into three pieces in the ratio 6: 5: 2. If the log is 61/2 feet long, what will be the length of the longest piece

14.077 feet to the nearest thousandth.

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's work out the multiplier:

6 + 5 + 2 = 13.

61/2 = 30.5

- so the multiplier is 30.5/13 = 2.34615

The longest piece refers to the 6 in the ratio its length

= 6 * 2.34615

= 14.0769 ft.

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
