This is a fairly tedious problem. The only way to solve that I see is to simply list out all the possible cases and go through each one by one. You'll use the triangle inequality theorem to see if the triangles can be formed. The theorem says that a+b > c must be true for all sets of pairs. In other words, take any two sides and add them up. The sum must be greater than the third side. 

Going through all the combos possible (that I could find), this is what I got
Blue9,Green7,Orange4
Blue9,Green7,Purple12
Blue9,Green7,Red3
Blue9,Green7,Yellow5
Blue9,Orange4,Purple12
Blue9,Purple12,Yellow5
Green7,Orange4,Yellow5
Green7,Red3,Yellow5
Orange4,Red3,Yellow5

In all, I count 9 cases. So the answer to problem 1 is 9.

-----------------------------------------------------------

For problem 2, the best way may be to pick two segments at a time instead of one. However, I have a feeling that will take just as long as the first method. I haven't tried it out. Even though going through the rods one at a time takes a while, it's probably the best option so you don't overlook any cases.

What is the length of side BC? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The length of side BC is 2.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise how to find the distance between two points

- If there are two points their coordinates are (x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2),

 then we can find the distance between them by this rule:

 d = √[(x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²]

- Now lets solve the problem

∵ B = (3 , 3)

∵ C = (5 , 1)

- To find the length of BC use the rule of the distance above

- Let point B is (x1 , y1) and point C is (x2 , y2)

∵ x1 = 3 and x2 = 5

∵ y1 = 3 and y2 = 1

∴ BC = √[(5 - 3)² + (1 - 3)²]

∴ BC = √[(2)² + (-2)²]

∴ BC = √[4 + 4] = √8 = 2.8 units

* The length of side BC is 2.8 units

The population of Austin, Texas, was about 494,000 at the beginning of a decade. The population increased by 3% each year. Write
matrenka [14]

Answer:

y(t) = 494 (1.03)^t

y(10) = 663,89

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase in population by 3% each year means that at the end of each year, the population is 1.03 times what it was at the start of the year

This increase in population continues for t years

Exponential growth model that represents the population y (in thousands) t years after the beginning of the decade is

y(t) = 494 (1.03)^t

Where,

y = population

t = number of years

Find y when t = 10

y(t) = 494 (1.03)^t

y(10) = 494 (1.03)^10

= 494 ( 1.3439)

= 663.8866

Approximately y(10) = 663.89

This means that after 10 years from when the population was 494,000, it increased to 663,89.
