It would be 8 to the 8th power
Hope this helps you with your questions.
Answer:
Let x = the third side
In a triangle, the sum of any 2 sides must be larger than the third side.
I believe this is called the triangle inequality theorem.
We can construct 3 inequalities to obtain the range of values for the third side.
(Inequality #1) 12 + 4 > x
16 > x
(Inequality#2) 12 + x > 4
x > -8 (we can discard this ... we know all sides will be positive)
(Inequality #3) 4 + x > 12
x > 8
So when we combine these together,
8 < x < 16
X (the third side) must be a number between 8 and 16. but not including 8 and 16
They would have each had around 2 pounds each
Answer: See below
Explanation:
Write an equation for nth term:
a + d(n - 1)
a = 8 (first term)
d = -6 (common difference)
8 - 6(n - 1)
= 8 - 6n + 6
= -6n + 14
Find a 50:
-6(50) + 14
= -300 + 14
= -286
