Answer:

The length of DF must be between 21 and 53.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the length of two sides added together must exceed the length of the 3rd side. So, since EF is the shortest of the two givens, we know that EF + DF must be greater than DE. So we can plug in these numbers to find the minimum.

EF + DF > DE

16 + DF > 37

DF > 21

Now, for the upper maximum, we know that the two given lengths must be greater than the length of DF. So again, we can solve for the maximum using the amounts.

DE + EF > DF

37 + 16 > DF

53 > DF

With these two in mind, we know that DF must be between 21 and 53

Answer: 21 < DF < 53 ; Triangle Inequality Theorem

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any two sides is greater than the sum of the third side.

DE + EF > DF          EF + DF > DE                 DE + DF > EF

37 + 16 > DF           16 + DF > 37                  37 + DF > 16

       53 > DF                   DF > 21                           DF > -21


Now let's put together the answers.  Note that DF > -21 is irrelevant since all lengths must be greater than 0.

53 > DF  and DF > 21  means that DF is between 53 and 21

----->    21 < DF < 53

What is the sum of 2/11’ 2/7’ and 1/11’?
pav-90 [236]
Solution

To solve this addition of fractions we are gonna apply the fraction rule which is;

a/c + b/c = (a + b)/c

2/11 + 1/11 = (2 + 1)/11


= (2 + 1)/11 + 2/7

Now add the numerators 2 + 1

= (2 + 1)/11 + 2/7

= 3/11 + 2/7

Now we find the least common multiple

The least common multiple of 11 and 7 is 77.

But before that we cross multiply the numerators.

3 * 7 = 21
2 * 11 = 22

Now the ajustes fraction is;

21/77 + 22/77


Apply the fraction rule which is;

a/c + b/c = (a + b)/c

= (21 + 22)/77

Now we add the numerators.

43/77

Therefore the answer in fraction is 43/77 and in decimal form it is 0.55841

A grocery store clerk put only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup on a shelf. The ratio of the number of cans of chick
larisa [96]

Answer:

9 cans of tomato soup

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that only cans of tomato soup and cans of chicken soup are put on the shelf.

Now, we are told that the ratio of the number of cans of chicken noodle soup to the total number of cans on the shelf was 8 to 17.

In fraction, this is 8/17

Now, this implies that there are 8 cans of chicken noodle soup while there are a total of 17 cans on the shelf.

Thus,

Since only cans of chicken noodles and cans of tomato soup are on the shelf, it means;

Cans of tomato soup = 17 - 8 = 9

What is the inequality represented by this graph? (pls help its worth 30 points and ill give brainliest if ur correct :D)
Yakvenalex [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the equation of the solid blue line:

The line decreases by 1 unit for every 3 units across.

=> Slope of line = -1/3.

Also the y-intercept is 1.

=> Line equation: y = -1/3 x + 1.

We see that the graph below this line is shaded.

Therefore all y-values below or on the line are represented by the graph.

=> y <= -1/3 x + 1.

The answer is y <= -1/3 x + 1.
