Answer:

The possible lengths are:

2,3,4 and 5, 6, 7;

2,4, 5 and 3, 6, 7

2,6,7 and 3,4,5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the triangle inequality, we know that for any given triangle, the sum of two of its sides is always greater than the other side. And this is true for any two sides we pick.

Now we have segments of 2,3,4, 5, 6 and 7 inches long. So now we have to pair this segments into two groups of three in which the sum of two elements of each group is greater than the third element of said group.

There are 20 ways of choosing 3 elements out of a group of 6 elements, however, you should notice that the choosing of 2,3,4 is the same as the choosing of 5,6,7 (since by choosing any three elements for our first triangle the elements for our second one are determined and vice versa) Thus, we only have 10 different options to choose.

Option 1: 2, 3, 4 and 5, 6, 7

2 + 3 > 4

2 + 4 > 6

3 + 4 > 2

and

5 + 6 > 7

5 + 7 > 6

6 + 7 > 5

Thus, this is a possible side length of her two triangles

Option 2: 2,3,5 and 4, 6, 7

2 + 3 = 5

Thus, this is not a possible side length because it doesn't fit the inequality.

Option 3: 2,3, 6 and 4,5,7

2 + 3 < 6

Thus this is not an option.

Option 4: 2,3, 7 and 4,5 6

2 + 3 < 7

Thus, this is not an option either

Option 5: 2,4, 5 and 3, 6, 7

2 + 4 > 5

2 + 5 > 4

4 + 5 > 2

and

3 + 6 > 7

3 + 7 > 10

6 + 7 > 3

Thus, this is an option.

Option 6: 2,4, 6 and 3, 5, 7

2 + 4 = 6 therefore this is not an option.

Option 7: 2, 4, 7 and 3, 5, 6

2 + 4 < 7 thus this is not an option.

Option 8: 2, 5, 6 and 3, 4, 7

3 + 4 = 7, thus this is not an option

Option 9: 2, 5, 7 and 3, 4, 6

2 + 5 = 7, thus this is not an option.

Option 10: 2, 6, 7 and 3, 4, 5

2 + 6 > 7

2 + 7 > 6

7 + 6 > 2

and

3 + 4 > 5

3 + 5 > 4

4 + 5 > 3

Thus this is an option.

Therefore, our possible lengths are: 2,3,4 and 5, 6, 7; 2,4, 5 and 3,6,7; 2,6,7 and 3,4,5

Answer:

  260π in²

Step-by-step explanation:

The slant height is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with legs 10 and 24. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find it to be ...

  l² = 10² +24² = 100 +576 = 676

  l = √676 = 26

The given formula tells you the lateral area is ...

  A = πrl = π(10 in)(26 in)

  A = 260π in² . . . . . cone's lateral area

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The name of the constant relating diameter to circumference (π) is "pi". It is the 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. "Pie" is something else entirely.

Tell whether the system has one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution.
nadya68 [22]
X=-7y+34
x+7y=32

To begin with make the two problems the same kind of problem. By adding 7y on both sides for the first problem.
x+7y=34
x+7y=32

So the correct answer would be no solution because it's the same problem and it can't equal to different answers.

I need to know how to find the mass and how to get the answer by showing the work.
BigorU [14]
1 ft = 12 in
6 in = 6/12 = 0.5 ft
9 in = 9/12 = 0.75 ft

D = M/V  ⇒  M = DV

V = 0.5 * 0.5 * 0.75 = 0.1875 cubic foot
M = 41.7 * 0.1875 ≈ 7.8 pounds

Answer:

See attached graph

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is y-3=(x + 6)

Write the equation in a slope intercept form, then graph the equation on a graph tool to see the points that line on the line.

Alternatively , using the coordinates in the answer choices given, input them in the equation of the graph and select the answer choice that has all its coordinates true to the equation.

y-3 = x+6  -----can be written as : y= x+9

Graph  y= x+9 to see the graph and the points that are on the line as attached.
