Answer:

Option d. 36 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know in a triangle if the measurement of two sides are given then third side of the triangle should be less than the sum of these two sides. Otherwise construction of a triangle is not possible.

Here two sides are 15 inches and 18 inches so third side of the triangle should be less than 18+15 = 33.

Third side < 33

Therefore third side with the measurement of 36 inches is not possible.

Option d. 36 inches is the answer.

The sum of the lengths of the two sides given is 15 inches + 18 inches = 33 inches. The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side. This means that the length of the third side of the triangle must be less than 33 inches. It also means that the length of the third side of the triangle must be greater than the difference between the lengths of the two sides given, which is 18 inches – 15 inches = 3 inches. Since the third side must have a length of between 3 inches and 33 inches, the third side of the triangle cannot have a length of 36 inches.

55 degrees. If you add the other three angles together you get 305. Considering that a circle is 360 degrees, you would subtract those two and get 55.

Each polygon pair is similar. Find the missing side length
ohaa [14]

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.

The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.

The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)

3/x = 15/60

3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply

180 = 15x

15x = 180

x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 12

----------

Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion

3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12

Or you could set up the proportion

60/15 = x/3

4 = x/3

x/3 = 4

x = 3*4

x = 12

-----------

<h3>Final Answer: 12</h3>
