Answer: No
Step-by-step explanation:
According to triangle inequality theorem which state that: the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.
Now let's test the given parameters if they obey this theorem
4 inches, 5 inches and 1 inch
4 + 5 = 9
9 > 1 correct
5 + 1 = 6
6 > 4 correct
4 + 1 = 5
5 not > 5 wrong
Therefore he won't be able to create the triangular component with these toothpicks without modifying any of the lengths
Wouldnt you need it to equal something? like a-5=b so then b+5=a
W=2j, m=5w, (m+4)=6(j+4)
using w from first in second you get:
m=5(2j)=10j, m+4=6j+24
m=10j, m=6j+20, since m=m we can say
10j=6j+20
4j=20
j=5, and since m=10j
m=50
So the man is 50 years old
