#1 Re: Help Me ! » finding the missing side of a triangle » 2012-12-12 15:47:12

I don't know if I can explain my question properly but if someone understands please help!! Ok so the directions say Find the length of AB to the nearest hundredth centimeter.  All measurements are in centimeters, but figures may be drawn to different scales. Explain your reasoning.

The first problem is a rectangle  and it has a dotted line going from the bottom of the left corner (it has an A right next to it) to the top of the right corner ( it has a B right next to it). The bottom lenght of the rectangle measures 1.2 and the right side measures .8. The dotted line in the middle forms two triangle in the rectangle. Please someone help me!
