3 connecting lines are shown. Line D F is horizontal. Line D E is about half the length of line D F. Line F E is about one-third

of the length of line D F.
Which inequality explains why these three segments cannot be used to construct a triangle?

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

Find the measure of UT answer choice - 65 51 70 55​
muminat

Answer:

Option (4)

Step-by-step explanation:

If two chords intersect outside the circle, angle formed between the chords will be half of the sum of measures of intercepted arcs.

From the given picture,

m(\angle RQS)=\frac{1}{2}(m\hat{RS}+m\hat{UT})

95° = \frac{1}{2}(135+m\hat{UT})

190 = 135 + m(\hat{UT})

m(\hat{UT})=190-135

m(\hat{UT}) = 55°

Therefore, option (4) will be the correct option.

Solve the quadratic equation y^2-2y-35=0
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Hello,

To solve we need to factor y^2-2y-35:

(y-7)(y+5)=0

Now solve for :

(When will (y-7)(y+5)equal zero?)

When y-7=0 or y+5=0

Solve for the 2 equations above and;

y= 7,-5

Hope this helps, have a great day!

Evaluate the expression: 16P4
Tju [1.3M]

The expression 16p⁴ will be written as (2p)⁴.

<h3>What is an expression?</h3>

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.

The given expression will be solved as below:-

16p⁴  = ( 2 x 2 x 2 x 2)p⁴

16p⁴  = 2⁴ x p⁴

16p⁴  = ( 2p )⁴

Therefore, the expression 16p⁴ will be written as (2p)⁴.
