The sum of the length of the two sides of the triangle must be greater than the length of the third side.

2 + 3 = 5 < 7 NOT

21 + 23 = 43 < 44 NOT

12 + 36 = 48 < 53 NOT

14 + 17 = 31 > 30

14 + 31 = 45 > 17

17 + 31 = 48 > 14

CORRECT

Answer: D. 14 ft, 17 ft, and 30 ft

Okay, so my last answer was deleted because I didnt show any work.

According to the rule,

a+b>c

c+b>a

c+a>b

so...

2+3=6...6<7

21+23=44...44+44

12+36=48...48<53

14+17=31...31>30

Since answer D is the only answer that fullfills the rule a+b>c, it is the correct answer

2.394 × x = y

2. insert value for x

2.394 × 7.489 = y
2.394 × 7.489 = 17.296

Find the infinite sum of 10,5,2.5,1.25...

____ [38]

Notice this is a geometric progression since each number multiplied by some factor equals the next number in the sequence, in this case,

$10 \times r = 5 \Rightarrow r=0.5$

Then by applying the formula for sum to infinity of a geometric progression,
$S_\infty = \frac{a}{1-r} = \frac{10}{1-0.5} = 20$
