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

Can someone please help me with these 2 problems. With work please &amp; thank u
Triss [41]

Answer:

I'm not good with the type of math on 3, so I'm going to answer 4. (P.S I don't know the question you're asking, so I'm going to assume you want to know the area and perimeter of the shapes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve number 4 I added the width of the 2 triangles to give me the width of the rectangle, so then 2 times 9 is 18. Then for the triangles. The formula for triangles is base times height divided by 2. So we add the areas of all shapes and we get: 18+6+24=48m. So the area for number 4 is 48 meters.

(hope this was your question)
