Asked by doodle bob
Jerome found the lengths of each side of triangle QRS as shown, but did not simplify his answers. Simplify the lengths of each side to answer the question.
Which statement about triangle QRS is true?
Triangle QRS is an equilateral triangle because QR = RS.
Triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle because QR = QS.
Triangle QRS is a scalene triangle because all sides have different lengths.
Triangle QRS is an isosceles triangle because QR = RS.

I don’t have the side-length expressions or the figure Jerome used. Could you either paste the three unsimplified lengths he found (QR, RS, QS) or upload the diagram?
If you want to proceed on your own, here’s how to decide:
1. Simplify each length (for radicals, factor out perfect squares: e.g. √18 = √(9·2) = 3√2; √12 = 2√3; √27 = 3√3).
2. Compare the simplified expressions:
- If all three are equal → equilateral.
- If exactly two are equal → isosceles (state which two).
- If none are equal → scalene.
If you post Jerome’s three unsimplified answers, I’ll simplify them and pick the correct statement.
