PR must be less than 26cm as PQ + QR = 26cm

PR must be more than 16cm as PD- QR = 16cm

At both those limits the sides would lay on top of each other.

Let

x---------> the possible lengths for PR


we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

so

case 1)

x+5 >21\\ x >16cm


case 2)

x+21 > 5\\ x >-16cm


case 3)

21+5 > x\\ 26 > x\\ x < 26cm

so

16 < x < 26

therefore


the answer is

PR must be less than 26cm and must be more than 16cm

What is the volume of a cylinder in a cubic cm,with a height of 8cm and a base diameter of 14 cm?round to the nearest tenth plac
bija089 [108]

Answer:

volume of cylinder = 1232cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

from the question

volume of cylinder =?

height of the cylinder = 8cm

Base diameter of the cylinder = 14cm

to solve this problem we need to know the formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder

volume of cylinder = πr²h

                   or

volume of cylinder = π(d/2)²h........................... if we are given diameter and not radius.

D= 14cm

d = 14/2

d = 7cm

now,

volume of cylinder = π × (7)² × 8

volume of cylinder = 22/7 ×49 ×8

volume of cylinder = 22 × 7 × 8

volume of cylinder = 1232cm³

therefor the volume of the cylinder is equals to 1232cm³

Solve this function f(-4)= -3x+6
timama [110]

Answer:

Solve for f.

f(−4)=−3x+6

Step 1: Divide both sides by -4.

−4f/-4 = −3x+6/−4

f=3/4x + −3/2

Answer:

f= 3/4x + −3/2
