The inequality that explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is ED + EF < DF

<h3>Inequalities </h3>

From the question, we are to determine which of the given inequalities explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle

From the given information,

Line DE is about half the length of line DF

That is,

ED = 1/2 DF

Also,

Line FE is about one-third of the length of line DF

That is,

EF = 1/3 DF

Then, we can write that

ED + EF = 1/2DF + 1/3DF

ED + EF = 5/6 DF

Since,

5/6 DF < DF

Then,

ED + EF < DF

Hence, the inequality that explains why the three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle is ED + EF < DF

What is the sum of the interior angles of an octagon?<br> 720°<br> O 900°<br> 1,080°<br> 1,260°
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

1080

Step-by-step explanation:

All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent). To find the measure of the angles, we know that the sum of all the angles is 1080 degrees (from above)... And there are eight angles... So, the measure of the interior angle of a regular octagon is 135 degrees
