Answer:

Option c - less than $\sqrt{58}$ inches but greater than 7 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ramon wants to make an acute triangle with three pieces of wood. So far, he has cut wood lengths of 7 inches and 3 inches.

To find : What length must the longest side be in order for the triangle to be acute?

Solution :

According to property of triangle,

If the square of larger side of triangle is equating to the sum of square of smaller side

If $a^2$ the triangle is acute triangle

where, a is the larger side and b,c are the smaller side

According to question, Let a=a , b=7, c=3

$a^2$

$a^2$

$a$

Means to be a acute triangle third side must be less than $\sqrt{58}$ inches but greater than 7 inches.

Therefore, Option c is correct.

A fruit stand sells apples, peaches and tomatoes. Today, they sold 4 apples for every 5 peaches. They sold 2 peaches for every 3

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

He sold 32 apples, 40 peaches and 60 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 apples are sold every 5 peaches and

3 tomatoes are sold every 2 peaches.

i.e. the ratio is apples: peaches = 4 : 5 ...... (1)

and the ratio peaches: tomatoes = 2 : 3 ...... (2)

Peaches are the common link here in both the ratio terms.

Let us make the peaches value in both the <em>ratio as 10 </em>to make it equal in both the ratio terms.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5:

The ratio becomes;

apples:peaches = 8:10

peaches: tomatoes = 10:15

In other words, the ratio becomes:

apples:peaches:tomatoes = 8:10:15

Let the number of apples = $8x$

Let the number of peaches = $10x\\$

Let the number of tomatoes = $15x$

We are given that total fruits are = 132

$\Rightarrow 8x+10x+15x = 132\\\Rightarrow 33x = 132\\\Rightarrow x =4\\$

So, number of apples sold = $8 \times 4 = 32$

Number of peaches sold = $10 \times 4 = 40$

Number of tomatoes sold = $15 \times 4 = 60$

Solve the quadratic equation<br> give your answer to 2 decimal places<br> : 3x^2+x-5=0

Dima020 [189]

Given:

The quadratic equation is:

$3x^2+x-5=0$

To find:

The solution for the given equation rounded to 2 decimal places.

Solution:

Quadratic formula: If a quadratic equation is $ax^2+bx+c=0$ , then:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

We have,

$3x^2+x-5=0$

Here, $a=3,b=1,c=-5$ . Using the quadratic formula, we get

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1^2-4(3)(-5)}}{2(3)}$

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{1+60}}{6}$

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm \sqrt{61}}{6}$

$x=\dfrac{-1\pm 7.81025}{6}$

Now,

$x=\dfrac{-1+7.81025}{6}$

$x=1.13504167$

$x\approx 1.14$

And

$x=\dfrac{-1-7.81025}{6}$

$x=-1.468375$

$x\approx -1.47$

Therefore, the required solutions are 1.14 and -1.47.
