#5 In triangle ABC, AB = 9 and BC = 15. What is the range the possible lengths for CA? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

CA must be in the range [15 - 9, 15 + 9] = [6, 24]
For the line segments to form a triangle the length of CA cannot be less the the difference between the other sides or greater than their sum.
At either extreme the three points A, B and C will be co-linear thus forming a triangle with area of zero

I think you have to divide it by 10 so the new volume would be 16 square inches.
