The length of the third side of the tringle must lie in between 7 and 7 i.e length of the third side will always be greater than 7 and smaller than 17 according to the properties of a triangle.

According to the given question.

We have a right angled triangle with the two side lengths 5 unit and 12 unit.

From the properties of a triangle we know that " the sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side". Or " the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side".

Let the third side of the triangle be x units.

So, by the properties of a triangle we can say that

12 - 5 < x

⇒ 7 < x

And 12 + 5 > x

⇒ 17 > x

Therefore, the length of the third side of the tringle must lie in between 7 and 7 i.e length of the third side will always be greater than 7 and smaller than 17.

If x+y=10 and x-y=6 what is this value of x cube - y cube​
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

x cubed minus y cubed is equal to 504

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to know what the values of x and y are.  We can do this pretty easily, by just solving both equations for x, and equating them to each other:

With the first:

x + y = 10

x = 10 - y

And with the other

x - y = 6

x = 6 + y

Now that we have two definitions of x, we can say that the expressions are equal, and solve for y:

10 - y = 6 + y

10 - 6 = y + y

4 = 2y

y = 2

And now that we know what y is, we can find x:

x = 10 - y

x = 10 - 2

x = 8

So x is equal to eight.  We can check our answer by plugging x into the other equation and seeing if we get the same value for y:

x - y = 6

8 - y = 6

-y = 6 - 8

-y = -2

y = 2

So we know we solved that correctly.

Now if we cube each number, eight cubed is equal to 512, and 2 cubed is equal to 8.  If we subtract the latter from the former we get 504.

so x cubed minus y cubed is equal to 504
