To solve this question, we should know the Triangle Inequality Theorem.

The triangle inequality theorem says something like: The sum of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than than the length of the third side

Making that into a formula, considering the side lengths are a, b, and c.
a + b > c
a + c > b
b+ c > a

So:
Lets test answer choice A.

The sides will then be: 34, 12, and 21

34 + 12 > 21 -> 46 > 12 True
12 + 21 > 34 -> 33 > 34 False

A is not the correct answer choice.

Lets try answer choice B.

The sides for this would be: 34, 12, and 30

34 + 12 > 30 -> 46 > 30 True
12 + 30 > 34 -> 42 > 34 True
30 + 12 > 34 -> 42 > 34 True

So B is correct.

Lets try C to make sure.

The side lengths would be: 34, 12, and 46

34 + 12 > 46 -> 46 > 46 False

So C is wrong.

Lets just make sure D is also wrong, and then we will know for sure if B is the answer :)

Side lengths of answer choice D: 34, 12, and 50

34 + 12 > 50 -> 46 > 50 False

So B is indeed our answer. :)

Another way to solve it is to:

We are given side lengths of 34 and 12.

That means the other side has to be greater than the different of 34 and 12 and less than the sum of 34 and 12.

Lets say that c is the third side, then:

34 -12 < c < 34 + 12
22 < c < 46

And by looking at this range, and the answer choices we know that B) 30 is the answer because the others are at the border and since it isn't greater than or equal to/less than or equal to, we can not include it.Or either the answer choices are out of the range.

So the final answer is $\boxed{\bf{B)~30~cm}}$

G find the area of the surface over the given region. use a computer algebra system to verify your results. the sphere r(u,v) =

Svetach [21]

Presumably you should be doing this using calculus methods, namely computing the surface integral along $\mathbf r(u,v)$ .

But since $\mathbf r(u,v)$ describes a sphere, we can simply recall that the surface area of a sphere of radius $a$ is $4\pi a^2$ .

In calculus terms, we would first find an expression for the surface element, which is given by

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\iint_S\left\|\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\frac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|\,\mathrm du\,\mathrm dv$

$\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}=a\cos u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a\cos u\sin v\,\mathbf j-a\sin u\,\mathbf k$
$\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=-a\sin u\sin v\,\mathbf i+a\sin u\cos v\,\mathbf j$
$\implies\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}=a^2\sin^2u\cos v\,\mathbf i+a^2\sin^2u\sin v\,\mathbf j+a^2\sin u\cos u\,\mathbf k$
$\implies\left\|\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial u}\times\dfrac{\partial\mathbf r}{\partial v}\right\|=a^2\sin u$

So the area of the surface is

$\displaystyle\iint_S\mathrm dS=\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\int_{v=0}^{v=2\pi}a^2\sin u\,\mathrm dv\,\mathrm du=2\pi a^2\int_{u=0}^{u=\pi}\sin u$
$=-2\pi a^2(\cos\pi-\cos 0)$
$=-2\pi a^2(-1-1)$
$=4\pi a^2$

as expected.

Help plz explain how to use discributive property

DiKsa [7]

1.Identify the fractions. Using the distributive property, you’ll eventually turn them into integers.

2.For all fractions, find the lowest common multiple (LCM) -- the smallest number that both denominators can fit neatly into. This will allow you to add fractions.

3.Multiply every term in the equation by the LCM.

4.Isolate variables adding or subtracting like terms on both sides of the equals sign.

5.Combine like terms.

6.Solve the equation and simplify, if needed.

Use the Law of Sines to solve the following triangle. Approximate your answers to the nearest tenths. c = 10.2 in, A = 45.1° B =

Sergeu [11.5K]

Law of sines says
a/sinA=b/sinB=c/SinC
where a,b,c are sides of a triangle and A,B,C are angles respectively.
a/sin45.1=c/sin59.1

(we can find angle C by sum of angles of a triangle is 180.)

a=sin(45.1) x 10.2/sin (59.1)

a=0.708 x 10.2/0.85
a=8.496
a=8.5 units

now u can find b and c sides.
