Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides would be unbalanced. To get the sides of a triangle, you have to add up the first two sides. The two sides combined usually have to be less than or equal to 15 to be considered "balanced". 22 is greater than 15, so that would leave you with an unbalanced triangle, sometimes considered degenerate. A degenerate triangle is a flat triangle that almost looks like a line. The triangle's vertices all lie on the same line, which makes it look very flat. That's why degenerate triangles are rarely considered "balanced" in regards to unit measures. So, given this is an unbalanced triangle, the answer to your question would be no.

Hope this helps!

Luda [366]

Answer:

$42.26

Tom spent more on tax ($1.54 vs his cousin's $0.72)

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom: $22 x 1.07 = $23.54

tax spent = 22 x 0.07 = $1.54

Cousin: $18 x 1.04 = $18.72

tax spent = 18 x 0.04 = $0.72

Total= $23.54 + $18.72 = $42.26

Answer:

20 views

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial number = 10
Weekly growth rate = 15% or 1.15 times

<u>Equation for this relationship:</u>

V(t) = 10*1.15^t, where t - number of weeks

<u>Number of views in 5 weeks:</u>

V(5) = 10*1.15^5 = 20 views (rounded)

The table shows the depth

DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The sub rose 121 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sub was less deep at 12 pm than at 10 am, so rose in the water. The amount it rose was ...

410 -289 = 121 . . . . feet

If you like, you can think of the sub's elevation relative to the surface as changing from -410 feet to -289 feet. The difference is then an increase in elevation (rise) of ...

-289 -(-410) = -289 +410 = 121 . . . feet

_____

12 am is midnight, 14 hours after 10 am. The time 2 hours after 10 am is 12 pm, noon.

Quadrilaterals L M N O and Q R S T are shown. Given that LMNO ≅ QRST, complete the statements. Side LM is congruent to side . An

deff fn [24]

When you have two congruent figures, the vertices are listed in the same order. This means that

Side LM ≅ Side QR, Side MN ≅ Side RS, etc. The same applies for the angles.

Therefore, Side LM ≅ Side QR and Angle MNO ≅ Angle RST.
