Answer:

  • shortest: 11 inches
  • longest: 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two side lengths for a triangle, the triangle inequality tells you the third side must have a length between the difference and the sum of the given sides.

__

<h3>A. minimum length</h3>

The difference of the given sides 25 and 15 is ...

  25 -15 = 10

The smallest integer greater than 10 is 11.

The third side must be at least 11 inches long.

__

<h3>B. maximum length</h3>

The sum of the given sides is ...

  25 +15 = 40

The largest integer smaller than 40 is 39.

The third side must be at most 39 inches long.

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Formally, the triangle inequality tells you that sides a, b, c must satisfy ...

  a +b > c  and  b +c > a  and  c +a > b

When we're considering the length of third side (c), there are 3 cases to consider. 1) c is shortest; 2) c is between the other lengths; 3) c is longest. Without loss of generality, we can assume a > b.

1) c is shortest:

  • a+b>c is always true.
  • b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the positive difference)
  • c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference)

conclusion: c > a-b

2) a > c > b:

  • a+b>c is always true.
  • b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the positive difference)
  • c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference)

conclusion: c > a-b

3) c is longest:

  • a+b>c (the sum)
  • b+c>a ⇒ c>a-b (the difference will be less than the sum)
  • c+a>b ⇒ c>b-a (the negative difference will be less than the sum)

conclusion: a -b < c < a+b . . . . . . for a>b

The volume of a gas with a pressure of 1.2 atm increases from 1.0 L to 4.0 L. What is the final pressure of the gas, assuming co
salantis [7]

Answer:

(b) 0.30 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Initial pressure= 1.2atm

Initial volume= 1.0L

Final volume= 4.0L

Final pressure= ???

Let us apply the gas formula to find the Final pressure

P1V1= P2V2

Substitute

1.2*1= x*4

Divide both sides by 4

1.2/4= x

x= 0.3atm

Hence the final pressure is 0.3 atm

At the county fair, the Baxter family bought 6 hot dogs and 4 juice drinks for $14.70. The Farley family bought 3 hot dogs and 4
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

A hot dog would cost 1.75 and the juice would cost 1.05

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, set x as the number of hot dogs and y as the number of juice drinks. This allows us to set up the following equations for each situation.

6x + 4y = 14.70

3x + 4y = 9.45

Now we can mutliply the second equation by -2 to get the x values to cancel out.

6x + 4y = 14.70

-6x - 8y = -18.90

------------------------

-4y = -4.20

y = 1.05

Now that we have this, we can plug it into either equation to find the cost of a hot dog.

3x + 4y = 9.45

3x + 4(1.05) = 9.45

3x + 4.20 = 9.45

3x = 5.25

x = 1.75

For whatever reason, Brainly questions are often missing the first character. Here, we assume it is A, so that the intended statement is ABCD~EFGH.

FG = BC*(EH)/AD = 15*60/45 = 20 . . . . inches
