At first we should know that:

 " The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must be grater than the length of the length of the third side "
which mean:
For a triangle ABC :
                                AB + BC > AC
                           &   AB + AC > BC
                           &   AC + BC > AB
Applying the theorem to the problem:<span>
</span>we have AB = 12 cm.   and BC = 10 cm.<span>

</span>For option (a): if AC = 2 cm.  ⇒⇒⇒   AC + BC = 10 + 2 = 12 = AB
                         So option (a)   ⇒ could not be the length of AC

For option (b): if AC = 3 cm. ⇒⇒⇒   AB + BC = 12 + 10 = 22 > AC
                                                     &   AB + AC = 12 + 3   = 15 > BC
                                                     &   AC + BC = 3  + 10  = 13 > AB
                         So option (b)   ⇒ could be the length of AC

For option (c): if AC = 8 cm.  ⇒⇒⇒   AB + BC = 12 + 10 = 22 > AC
                                                     &   AB + AC = 12 + 8   = 20 > BC
                                                     &   AC + BC = 8  + 10  = 18 > AB
                         So option (c)   ⇒ could be the length of AC

For option (d): if AC = 16 cm. ⇒⇒⇒   AB + BC = 12 + 10 = 22 > AC
                                                     &   AB + AC = 12 + 16  = 28  > BC
                                                     &   AC + BC = 16 + 10  = 26  > AB
                         So option (d)   ⇒ could be the length of AC

For option (e): if AC = 22 cm.  ⇒⇒⇒   AB + BC = 10 + 12 = 22 = AC
                         So option (e)   ⇒ could not be the length of AC

For option (f): if AC = 25 cm.  ⇒⇒⇒   AB + BC = 12 + 10 = 22 < AC
                         So option (f)   ⇒ could not be the length of AC

 

The measurements that could be the length of AC are 3 , 8 , 16

i.e.: options (b),(c) and (d)

What does C(F) represent?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a disease that is passed down through families.

If I didn't answer correctly then I don't understand the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is caused by a defective gene that makes the body produce abnormally thick and sticky fluid, called mucus. This mucus builds up in the breathing passages of the lungs and in the pancreas.

A triangle, ABC, has coordinates A (-2, 0), B (-2, 5) and C (-4, 0). What is the length of the shortest side?
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph the points given, it gives you this shape in the image below.  The hypotenuse (longest side of triangle) is found by doing the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs (the other sides of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse.

5^2 + 2^2 = 29.

√ 29 ≈ 5.38, and that is the length of the hypotenuse.

The shortest side is the bottom side, which is 2 units.  Therefore, that is your answer.

Let me know if this is right! :)

two variables that move in opposite directions are: a. said to have a positive correlation. b. called independent variables. c.
Lapatulllka [165]

Two variables that move in opposite directions are said to be inversely related.

A negative correlation is a relationship between two variables that move in opposite directions. In other words, when variable A increases, variable B decreases. A negative correlation is also known as an inverse correlation.

The concept of negative correlation is important for investors or analysts who are considering adding new investments to their portfolio. When market uncertainty is high, a common consideration is re-balancing portfolios by replacing some securities that have a positive correlation with those that have a negative correlation.

Here are some common examples of a negatively correlated relationship between assets:

1. Oil prices and airline stocks

2. Gold prices and stock markets (most of the time, but not always)

3. Any type of insurance payoff

Gabriel has 15 5/8 pounds of clay. He will use 7/10 pound to make each bowl. After making 8 bowls he wonders how many more bowls
evablogger [386]
7/10 x 8 = 5 6/10
15 5/8 - 5 6/10 = 10 1/40
10 1/40 / 7/10 = 14 9/28
so he can make 14 more bowls and 9/28 of another bowl so you round down to 14 complete bowls.
