If you have a triangle with sides a, b and c, then:

a+b>c,\\a+c>b,\\b+c>a.

In your case let a=4 in, b=12 in annd c=17 in. Check these three inequalities:

1. 4+12=16 is less than 17 - inequality a+b>c doesn't hold.

2. 4+17>12 - inequality a+c>b holds.

3. 12+17>4 - inequality b+c>a holds.

Since only two from three inequalities are true, then the triangle doesn't exist.

Answer: correct choice is D - This triangle does not exist because the sum of 4 and 12 is less than 17.

MariettaO [177]

CONTRACT  PROFIT, (P)* OF PROFIT...(P)*. TO BREAK EVEN...LOSS, (P)* OF LOSS

Southeast $45,000,            50%                       30%                           $6,000, 20%

Southwest $60,000,            35%                      40%                          $10,000, 25%

California $112,000,           20%                       40%                          $40,000, 40%


I think that the best contract would be with SOUTHEAST. It probability of having a profit is higher than the other two at 50% while its probability of incurring a loss is lesser than the other two at 20%. 

Despite the bigger value of its contract profit of the other two, these value will still be greatly affected by its corresponding probabilities.

Savatey [412]
500 = 200 + 20h is our equation.
Subtract 200 from both sides
300 = 20h
Divide by 20
300/20 = 15.
It will take 15 hours to get 500 points.
Hope this helps!

How is this supposed to be solved, i don’t really understand.
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

$2561.99 a quarter

Step-by-step explanation:

Just add together what they pay every year, then multiply by 25.5% (because that's the quarterly premium.)

Annual cost = insurance + dental + vision

                    = 8900 + 772 + 375 = $10047 a year.

Quarterly cost = 25.5% of annual cost

   Whenever you see of, think of multiplication!

   25.5% = .255

Quarterly cost = .255 * 10047 = <u>$2561.99 a quarter</u>
