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

Find the vertex of the function h(x) = x2 – 4x – 21
lakkis [162]

Answer: (2, -25)

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinate of the vertex is x=-\frac{-4}{2(1)}=2.

When x=2, h(2)=2^2 - 4(2)-21=-25.

So, the vertex is (2, -25).

The three sides of a triangle are n, 3n+3, and 2n+11. If the perimeter of the triangle is 50 inches, what is the length of each
mylen [45]

Answer:

6, 21, and 23 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of all side lengths in that triangle. We're given the perimeter as 50 inches, and the side lengths as n, 3n + 3, and 2n + 11.

  • This means that we can algebraically solve the equation n + 3n + 3 + 2n + 11 = 50

Step 1: Combine like terms.

  • (n+3n+2n) + (3+11) = 50
  • 6n + 14 = 50

Step 2: Subtract 14 from both sides.

  • 6n + 14 - 14 = 50 - 14
  • 6n = 36

Step 3: Divide both sides by 6.

  • 6n/6 = 36/6
  • n = 6

Step 4: Plug in the value of n as 6 in each side.

  • (6) + (3(6) + 3) + (2(6)+11) = 50
  • (6) + (18+3) + (12+11) = 50
  • (6) + (21) + (23) = 50  

Therefore, the side lengths are 6, 21, and 23 inches.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
