Can the sides of a triangle have lengths 2, 4, and 7?

Yes. It would be a scalene triangle.

However, a right triangle cannot have those lengths (because if we inputted the values into the Pythagorean Theorem, it wouldn’t be a true equation).

Hope this helps! (:

Answer:

No, they can't

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the largest side cannot be greater than the sum of the other two sides.

2+4= 6<7

As you can see from this Equation NOT any two side are greater than the third making this NOT possibly be a tringle.

2+7=9>4

4+7=11>2

madreJ [45]

x-intercept = (15, 0) y-intercept = (0, 3)

slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (0 - 3)/(15 - 0) = -3/15 = -1/5

Point-Slope formula: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁) ; where (x₁, y₁) is one of the given points

y - 0 = (-1/5)(x - 15)

-5y = x - 15

x + 5y = 15

Answer: x + 5y = 15
