Answer:

The smallest possible whole-number length of the unknown side is 19\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The triangle inequality theorem, states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side

Let

x-----> the length of longest side

Applying the triangle inequality theorem

case A)

10+15 > x

25 > x

Rewrite

x< 25

case B)

10+x > 15

x > 15-10

x> 5

The solution of the third side is the interval-------> (5,25)

but remember that

In an obtuse triangle

x^{2} > a^{2} +b^{2}

x^{2} > 15^{2} +10^{2}

x > 18.03\ inches

Round to a whole number

x= 19\ inches

191.2=2.3L+65.5 helppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

191.2 = 2.3L +65.5

191.2 - 65.5 = 2.3L   {Subtract 65.5 from both sides}

125.7= 2.3L

L = 125.7/2.3

L = 54.65

Min-Jee is planting two rectangular flower beds. One bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet, and the other bed is 2.78 feet by 5.61 feet.
shusha [124]

Answer:  (2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3> The complete exercise is attached.</h3><h3></h3>

The area of a rectangle can be calculated with this formula:

A=lw

Where "l" is the lenght and "w" is the width.

Then, you can notice that it can be obtained by multiplying the dimensions of the rectangle.

Knowing this, you can determine that the total area of the two flowers bed can be obtained by adding the products of their dimensions.

Since one of the rectangular flower bed is 2.78 feet by 4.81 feet and the other bed  2.78 feet by 5.61 feet, you can write the following expression to find the total area (in square feet)of the two beds:

2.78*4.81 +2.78*5.61

If you factor out 2.78:

2.78(4.81 +5.61) or (4.81 +5.61)2.78

Therefore, the expression that does not represent the total area in square feet of the two beds, is:

(2.78+4.81)(2.78+5.61)
