The greatest whole number possible length for the given measures of triangle is 23 cm.

As given in the question,

Measure of two side-length of a given triangle are :

Let 'x' be the side length = 8.5cm

And 'y' be the side length = 15cm

'z' be the side length of the third side of a triangle.

Sum of two sides is greater than third side and difference of two sides is smaller than the third side.

y - x < z < y + x

⇒ 15 - 8.5 < z < 15 + 8.5

⇒ 6.5 cm < z < 23.5cm

Greatest whole number representing length of the third side of a triangle is  less than 23.5 .

⇒ z = 23cm

Therefore, the length of the third side of a triangle represented by greatest whole number is equal 23cm.

Answer:

Cherry Pink has not been made (25:17\neq 4:3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that she already has 60litres of Rose Pink paint, we use the ratios to determine the volumes of red/white used:

Rose Pink=60l\\\\Red=\frac{1}{3}\times 60\\\\=20l\\\\White=\frac{2}{3}\times 60\\\\=40l

#Add these proportions to the additional red and white paints to determine if Cherry Pink has been made:

V_r=20l+80l\\\\=100l\\\\V_w=40l+28l\\\\=68l\\\\\therefore r:w=100l:68l     \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \  \ \# simplify\\\\r:w=25:17

We equate this proportion to the Cherry Pink proportion to verify if Cherry pink has been made:

25:17\neq 4:3

Hence, Cherry pink has not been made.

In a rectangle, the perimeter is 102 inches. The width of the rectangle is 9 inch more than half the
Harrizon [31]

perimeter = 2width + 2 length

102 = 2(x+9) + 2x

102 = 2x + 18 +2x

102 = 4x +18

84 = 4x

21 = x

Length = x = 21 inches

Width = x + 9 = 21 + 9 = 30 inches
