Pythagoras Theorem:
hipotenuse²=leg₁²+leg₂²

First posible triangle:
hypotenuse=13    (13²=169)
leg₁=12                ( 12²=144)
leg₂=5                  (5²=25)

13³=144 + 25


Answer:can be side lengths of a triangle

Second triangle:
 hypotenuse=12.6    (12.6²=158.76)
leg₁=6.7                ( 6.7²=44.89)
leg₂=6.5                  (6.5²=42.25)

leg₁²+leg₂²=44.89+42.25=87.14≠158.76

Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.

third triangle:
hypotenuse=13    (13²=169)
leg₁=12                ( 12²=144)
leg₂=11                  (11²=121)

leg₁²+leg₂²=144+121=265≠169

Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.

fourth triangle:
hypotenuse=13   (13²=169)
leg₁=6                ( 6²=36)
leg₂=4                  (4²=16)

leg₁²+leg₁²=36+16=52≠169

Answer: cannot be side lenghts of a triangle.

Use a bit of logic

the longest side of a triangle has to be less than the sum of the legnths of the other two sides (or else they won't connect or you get a striahge line or something)
baseically
longestside<otherside+shortestside


12,13,5
13<12+5 is that true?
13<17
true
it can be a triangle


6.7,6.5,12.6
12.6<6.7+6.5
12.6<13.2
true, can be a triangle

13,12,11
13<12+11
13<23
true
can be a triangle

13,4,6
13<4+6
13<10
false, cannot be a triangle



all of them can be legnths of a triangle except last one

35 miles per hour to feet per minute
guapka [62]
35 miles is equal to 35*5280, which is 184,800.
Now we know that it takes one hour to travel 184,800.
The next step is to divide 184,800 by 60, which is 3,080.
So it takes one minute to travel 3,080 feet. Hope this helps.

2 cars c and d started to move to each other car c was 118 miles from Boston car d was 256 miles from Boston car c was going twi
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

131.3 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The two cars are moving from different directions. The total distance between the two cars = 118 miles + 256 miles = 374 miles.

Let us assume that the two cars meet at point O, let the distance between car c and O be d₁, the distance between car d and point O be d₂, hence:

d₁ + d₂ = 374 miles       (1)

Let speed of car d be x mph, therefore speed of car c = 2x mph (twice of car d). If it take the cars t hours to meet at the same point, hence

For car c:

2x = d₁/t

t = d₁ / 2x

For car d;

x = d₂/t

t = d₂/ x

Since it takes both cars the same time to meet at the same point, therefore:

d₁/2x = d₂ / x

d₁ = 2d₂

d₁ - 2d₂ = 0         (2)

Solving equation 1 and 2 simultaneously gives d₁ = 249.3 miles, d₂ = 124.7 miles

Therefore the distance from point of meet to Boston = 249.3 - 118 = 131.3 miles

David &amp; Brad are competing in a 20-mile bicycle race. David rides 6.2 miles in 1/4 hour. Brad rides 11.9 miles in 1/2 hour.
Elodia [21]
David will finish first, because if you divide Brad's miles by 2 to his miles in a 1/4 of an hour are 5.95 miles. This means David went 6.2 miles in the same time that Brad went 5.95. Therefore, David will finish first.
