Please help, is it possible to draw a triangle with sides 6 inches, 4 inches, and 2 inches. If not, why?

1 answer:

8 0

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side.

a+b>c

b+c>a

c+a>b

So let's say that 2=a 4=b and 6=c.

2+4>6 is incorrect because 6 is not greater than 6

4+6>2 is correct because 10 is greater than 2

2+6>4 is correct because 8 is greater than 4

All three must be true for you to be able to draw the triangle. So no you cannot draw a triangle with the sides 6, 4, and 2.

Answer:

Retail price = $5.20

Percentage of mark up price = 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

Company sells $4.00 each wholesale.

Now the local store which is the retailer has a markup of $1.20.

This means that the retail price is;

Retail price = wholesale price + mark up = $4.00 + $1.20

Retail price = $5.20

To find the percentage of the markup, it is the fraction of the wholesale price multiplied by 100%.

Thus;

Percentage of Markup is;

1.2/4 × 100% = 30%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached photo.

<em>Lacey's mom makes her a birthday cake in the shape of an "L" . Lacey loves frosting, so her mom covers the entire outside of the cake in frosting, even the bottom of the cake. </em>

<em>How much space does Lacey's mom cover in frosting? </em>

My answer:

As we know that the surface area of the the cake is made up of rectangles. The formula for find the area of a rectangle is A = lw

The area of rectangle ABCD: 4*2 = 8

The area of rectangle ADFE : 12*2 = 24

The area of rectangle TJVS : 4*2 = 8

The area of rectangle ESFV :9*2 = 18

The area of rectangle HTJG: 5*2 = 10

The area of rectangle CBHG: 2*8 = 16

The area of CDEVGJ = ABHTFS

= 4*12 + 4*5

= 68

So the total area is: 68 +68 +16+10+18+8+24+8 = 220

Hope it will find you well

The sum of two numbers is 134. If three times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 18. Find th

Phantasy [73]

Let, larger number be x and smaller number be y.

Condition 1: The summ of two numbers is 134.

It can be written as,

$x+y=134\ldots\ldots\text{.}(1)$

Condition 2: If three times the smaller number is subtracted from the larger number, the result is 18.

The equation is,

$x-3y=18\ldots\ldots\ldots\text{.}\mathrm{}(2)$

Solving equation 1 and 2,

$\begin{gathered} \text{subtract equation (2) from (1),} \\ x+y-(x-3y)=134-18 \\ x+y-x+3y=116 \\ 4y=116 \\ y=29 \end{gathered}$

Out the value of y=29 in equation (1),

$\begin{gathered} x+y=134 \\ x+29=134 \\ x=105 \end{gathered}$

Answer:

Larger number is x=105

Smaller number is y=29.
