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

How can you simplify 24 to 96

Nezavi [6.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

Reduce 24/96 to lowest terms

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator. GCD of 24 and 96 is 24.

24 ÷ 2496 ÷ 24.

Reduced fraction: 14. Therefore, 24/96 simplified to lowest terms is 1/4.

$2r = 17 + s = 50 - 2s \\ 3s = 50 - 17 = 33 \\ s = 11 \\ \\2 r = 50 - 2s \\ 2r = 50 - 2 \times 11 = 50 - 22 = 28 \\ r = 14$

C. r=14, s =11

Pls help With this question thank you

Answer:

$CD=4 \text{ cm }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a similarity of triangles. Once the side BC and ED are parallel,

$\frac{BC}{AC} =\frac{ED}{AD}$

$\frac{10}{AC} =\frac{5}{4}$

Once $AC=AD+CD \Rightarrow AC=4+CD$

$\frac{10}{4+CD} =\frac{5}{4}$

$5CD+20=40$

$5CD=20$

$CD=4 \text{ cm }$

Create an equation to solve for x using the trapezoid midsegment formula:

Serggg [28]

Answer:

Equation for x: 3x - 6 = $\frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}$

x = 9

CD = 17

GH = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

The midsegment formula for a trapezoid is

GH = $\frac{CD + FE}{2}$

3x - 6 = $\frac{2x - 1 + 25}{2}$

6x - 12 = 2x + 24

4x = 36

x = 9

CD = 2x - 1 = 2(9) - 1 = 18 - 1 = 17

GH = 3x - 6 = 3(9) - 6 = 3 = 27 - 6 = 21
