Can the numbers 12,6 , 6 be used to form the sides of a triangle

Mathematics
1 answer:
Naddika [18.5K]2 years ago

we have three sides, let's look at the two smaller sides first.

check the picture below, atop

if we move the sides closer and ever closer to each other, to the extent that one is right on top of the other, what is the length of the red side?  Well, assuming the two smaller sides are one pancaked on top of the other, the red side will be as long as 6 - 6 = 0.  However, the sides can't be on top of each other, because if that's so, we have a flat-line, and thus we wouldn't have a triangle.  So whatever the third side may be, it must be greater than 0.

check the picture below, at the bottom

Now, if we move the sides away from each other, farther and farther to the extent that one is parallel to the other, then the third side will just be as long as 6 + 6 = 12.  However, we can't do that, because if that were to happen, we again will have a flat-line and not a triangle.  So whatever the third side may be, it must be less than 12.

so, 12 is  a no dice.

-57= -4p + 7 jdjdjdjjfjfjfjfj
NikAS [45]

Answer:

p=16

Step-by-step explanation:

-57 -7 = -4p (Subtracting 7 both sides)

-64 = -4p

-64/-4 = p (Dividing -4 both sides)

16 = p

Hope this helps!

Answer:

D&B

Step-by-step explanation:

turn 6 to a fraction which is 6/1

So you keep the first fraction the same

change the division sign to a multiplication sign

change 3/4 to 4/3

so 6/1x4/3

multiply straight across the top and bottom

you get 24/3

simplified is 1/8lbs

Which congruence theorem can be used to prove WXS and YZS?
mariarad [96]

I am going to make what is hopefully not an incorrect assumption and say that since the segmentXSZ is black and the other lines are blue, that XS is congruent to ZS. If that be the case we have a side in each triangle that is congruent to each other and an angle that is marked as congruent. Angles XSW and ZSY are vertical angles. By definition, vertical angles are congruent. In each triangle, then, we have an angle, a side and an angle which gives us the congruency postulate ASA.
