Use area formula (length x width)
42 x 25.5 = 1,071
Divide by total cost of wall paper
1,071/771.25 = $1.38 per square foot
Answer:
The smallest possible value for x is 
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u>Triangle Inequality Theorem</u>. states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side
so
The value of x must be greater than 
so
If x must be a whole number
therefore
The smallest possible value for x is
You could say 8r+2 times s +4 or –5x2y4
Most likely you are expected to recognize that side lengths 2, 3, 5 will result in a "triangle" of zero area (looks like a line segment).
The appropriate choice is
(5, 3, 2)
_____
Some authors write the triangle inequality as a + b ≥ c for any assignment of a, b, c to side lengths. The "or equal to ..." allows the triangle to have zero area (looks like a line segment). Other authors insist the inequality not include the "or equal to" case. It looks like your text's author is in the latter camp.
