Is it possible for a triangle to have sides with the given lengths? Explain. 5 in., 8 in., 15 in.

Hello.
No, it is not. With a triangle, the sum of 2 lengths of any 2 sides will always be greater than the third side.
In the problem 5 + 8 is 13, which is less than 15. So this cannot be a triangle.

PQ is bisected at point R by MN. Which of the following I true about point R.

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

C. R is the midpoint of PQ.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that segment PQ is bisected at point R by MN.

It means PQ is divided into two parts at point R by the segment MN.

That is, PR = RQ

Hence, R is the midpoint of PQ.

It is not given that the segment MN is bisected by PQ.

So, R need not be the midpoint of MN.

Please refer to the attached figure for better understanding.

write the particular equation of this transformed sine graph. assume that the horizontal shift is 1 unit to the right. (hint: tr

Goryan [66]

We are given the graph of sine function.
First, we get the amplitude
A = [6 - (-2)] / 2
A = 4

Next, we determine the period and b
T = 4 - 0 = 4
b = 2π / T
b = π/2

The original sine function was
y = 4 sin πx/2

After the transformation, the equation now is
y = 4 sin [π(x+2)/2] + 2
