Answer:

C. 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

Given,

The longest side of an isosceles obtuse triangle measures 20 centimeters.

Let x be the measure of the other two congruent sides,

By the above property,

20 < x + x

20 < 2x

10 < x

Thus, the measure of congruent sides must be greater than 10 cm,

Now, In an isosceles obtuse triangle, the square of the longest side is greater than the sum of squares of the other two congruent sides.

(20)^2>x^2+x^2

400>2x^2

200>x^2

10\sqrt{2}>x

Since, √2 = 1.41421356≈ 1.41

\implies x < 10\times 1.41\implies x < 14.1

Hence, the greatest possible whole-number value of the congruent side lengths is 14.

Option C is correct.

Find the solution of this system of equations. Separate the x- and y-values with a comma. x - 4y = 12 and x - y = 0
Elenna [48]
Use elimination and subtitution method to solve the problem.
First, eliminate x and you'll find the value of y
x - 4y = 12
x -  y  = 0
--------------- - (substract)
     -3y = 12
        y = 12/-3
        y = -4

Second, subtitute -4 as y and you'll find the value of x
x - y = 0
x- (-4) = 0
x + 4 = 0
x = -4

The solution
x,y = -4,-4

The surface area of two similar solids are 340yd^2 and 1,158yd^2. The volume of the larger solid is 1,712yd^2. What is the volum
solong [7]
The ratio of the areas is 340/1158 = 170/579thus the ratio of the side lengths is sqrt(170)/sqrt(579)  = .5418the ratio of volumes is the side length ratio cubed = .5418^3 = .159Volume of smaller solid  = (.159)(1712) = 272.37
