By using the triangular inequality, we will see that no triangles can be made with these side lengths.

<h3>How many triangles can be made with these side lengths?</h3>

Remember that for any triangle with side lengths A, B, and C, the triangular inequality must be true.

This means that the sum of any two sides must be larger than the other side.

A + B > C

A + C > B

B + C > A.

For the given side lengths, we will have:

8 in + 12 in > 24 in

8in + 24 in > 12 in

12 in + 24 in > 8 in.

Now, notice that the first inequality is false. So the triangular inequality is not meet. Then we can't make a triangle with these side lengths.

So we can make 0 unique triangles with these side lengths.

Please help i dont understand

Greeley [361]

Given:

A quadrilateral inscribed in a circle.

To find:

The value of x and y.

Solution:

If a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle, then it is known as cyclic quadrilateral and the opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral are supplementary angles, it means their sum is 180 degrees.

$5x^\circ+110^\circ=180^\circ$ [Supplementary angles]

$5x^\circ=180^\circ -110^\circ$

$x^\circ=\dfrac{70^\circ}{5}$

$x^\circ=14^\circ$

The value of x is 14 degrees.

$2y^\circ+104^\circ=180^\circ$ [Supplementary angles]

$2y^\circ=180^\circ -104^\circ$

$y^\circ=\dfrac{76^\circ}{2}$

$y^\circ=38^\circ$

Therefore, the value of x is 14 degrees and the value of y is 38 degrees.

belka [17]

Answer: Brian has some understanding of budgeting. However, a budget does not create more money each month. It just helps him use his money better.

This is what Brian said and my assessment:


.... his budget helps him know where his money is being spent TRUE

It allows him to spend some money on entertainment with the peace of mind that he will be able to pay the rent: TRUE

...and even gives him more money each month NOT REALLY ... money is not created by the budget

When purchasing bulk orders of batteries, a toy manufacturer uses this acceptance sampling plan: randomly select and test 5858

Andreyy89

We use the binomial distribution:
$P _{a}= \sum^c_d_=_0 \frac{n!}{d!(n-d)!} p^d (1-p)^n^-^d$
In this formula, c is the acceptable number of defectives; n is the sample size; p is the fraction of defectives in the population. Our c is 2; n is 58; and p is 0.11. Once we evaluate that summation, we get 0.0388. This has a 3.88% chance of being accepted. Since this is such a low chance, we can expect many of the shipments like this to be rejected.
