Answer:
A) 2cm
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the measure of any two sides of a triangle MUST be larger than the measure of the third side. In this case, with sides 3cm and 5cm, the third side would have to be at least 3cm in order for the smallest two sides to be larger than the third side:
3cm + 3cm = 6 cm > 5cm
However, if the third side was only 2cm, then the two smaller sides would be 5cm, which is only equal to and not larger than the third side:
3cm + 2cm = 5cm
Any other measurements larger than 3cm, when added to the given side of 3cm, would be larger than 5cm and would form a triangle. So, the only measure that would NOT form a triangle would be 2cm.
Answer B! Hope this helps
means that the triangles are congruent, that is exactly identical.
The order of letters is very important. Form the given congruence we can write the following ratio:
(notice that we do not mix the order: the first 2 letters of VWX are compared to the first 2 letters of KLJ and so on)
the ratio is one because the corresponding sides are equal.
Answer: 5 units
I'll use a coordinate plane for this since it's easier (for me) :)
Red = park
Blue = his trail
Pink = distance from park = 3
