Question

a triangle bookshelf has a base of 10 inches, 12 inches, and 18 inches.Will the bookshelf fit in the corner of square living room​

Answer 1

Not possible.

Explanation:

Since the triangular base has not a right-angled form. That is, the longest side is greater than value of hypotenuse, meaning that triangular base has a form of a obtuse-angle triangle.

`\sqrt{10^(2) + 12^(2)} \\eq 18`

`√(244)\\eq √(324)`
