Answer:
19
Step-by-step explanation:
Given 2 sides of a triangle then the third side x is
difference of 2 sides < x < sum of 2 sides , that is
18 - 2 < x < 18 + 2
16 < x < 20
Then the largest possible length of the third side is 19
Answer:
Where's the number line?
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3.5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
We can rotate the figure to the left 90 degrees clockwise so that it becomes same orientation as the figure to the right.
Since they are similar figures, their corresponding sides are proportional.
The 4 inch side of left figure corresponds to 16 in side of right side figure.
The "?" inch side of left figure corresponds to 14 in side of right side figure.
We can replace "?" with "x" and setup two ratios and equate them:

Now, we can cross multiply and solve for x:

Hence,
the unknown side marked "?" is equal to 3.5 inches
Answer: Ellen's house is farther away by 898 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: The distance between Haley's house and Ellen's house = 1.41 miles
We know that 1 mile = 5,280 feet
Then, 
The distance between Haley's house and Dirk's house = 6,547 feet
Clearly, 6,547<7,444.8
And 
Therefore, Ellen's house is farther away by 898 feet.
