　　If triangle above is congruent to triangle (not shown), which of the following must be the length of one side of triangle ?

　　Answer Choices

　　(A)

　　(B)

　　(C)

　　(D)

　　(E) It cannot be determined from the information given.

　　The correct answer is D

　　Explanation

　　Triangle is congruent to triangle , so the lengths of the three sides of triangle are the same as the lengths of the three sides of triangle . Triangle is a - - triangle with hypotenuse of length , so the other two sides of triangle have lengths and . Therore, the lengths of the sides of triangle must be , , and . Of the choices given, only is one of these values.

　　If two sides of the triangle above have lengths 5and 6, the perimeter of the triangle could be which of the following?

　　. 　　. 　　.

　　Answer Choices

　　(A) only

　　(B) only

　　(C) only

　　(D) and only

　　(E) , , and

　　The correct answer is B

　　Explanation

　　Difficulty: Hard

　　In questions of this type, statements , , and should each be considered independently of the others. You must determine which of those statements could be true.

　　Statement cannot be true. The perimeter of the triangle cannot be , since the sum of the two given sides is without even considering the third side of the triangle.

　　Continuing to work the problem, you see that in , if the perimeter were , then the third side of the triangle would be , or . A triangle can have side lengths of , , and . So the perimeter of the triangle could be .

　　Finally, consider whether it is possible for the triangle to have a perimeter of . In this case, the third side of the triangle would be . The third side of this triangle cannot be , since the sum of the other two sides is not greater than . By the Triangle Inequality, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. So the correct answer is only.
