Question 1018187: I was given a set of triangles (6). For the first 3 I have to find the unknown side length
1) 3,x,9
2) 18,10,x
3) 14,4,x
Then for the set where I have to find the values of the variables. And write it in radical form.
1) 8,8,x
2) 10, y, y
3) a, b, and 3 square root 2 (there is also 60 degrees in the triangle)

None of the first three are solvable with the info you've given. You can find a *range* of possible values for x using the triangle inequality, but we can't figure out the value of x otherwise.

Same thing with the next three.
