Answer:

Option C. 15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

A triangle has two sides that measure 8.7 cm and 12.3 cm. Which could be the measure of the third side?

A. 2.6 cm

B. 3.6 cm

C. 15 cm

D. 21 cm

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

Analyze two cases

Let

x ----> the length of the third side

First case

x+8.7 > 12.3

x>12.3-8.7

x> 3.6 cm

Second case

12.3+8.7 > x

21 > x

Rewrite

x < 21 cm

I need help on question 16 &amp; 17! <br> I don’t really understand how to solve it.
Sidana [21]

Answer:

y = 11

x = 8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The small triangle with 30,32,y looks like right triangle

so according to formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2

so 30^2 + y^2 = 32^2

900 + y^2 = 1024

y^2 = 124 => y = 11

The larger triangle also looks like a right triangle

so according to formula a^2 + b^2 = c^2

(30 + 10)^2 + 22^2 = (32 + x)^2

1600 + 44 = (32 + x)^2

so (x + 32)^2 = 1644

x + 32 = 40.55

x = 40.55 = 32 = 8.55 = 8.6
