So for this, we will be applying the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that the sum of 2 sides must be greater than the third side for it to be a triangle. If any inequality turns out to be false, then the set cannot be a triangle.

A+B>C\\A+C>B\\B+C>A

<h2>First Option: {6, 10, 12}</h2>

Let A = 6, B = 10, and C = 12:

6+10>12\\16>12\ \textsf{true}\\\\6+12>10\\18>10\ \textsf{true}\\\\12+10>6\\22>6\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Second Option: {5, 7, 10}</h2>

Let A = 5, B = 7, and C = 10

5+7>10\\12>10\ \textsf{true}\\\\5+10>7\\15>7\ \textsf{true}\\\\10+7>5\\17>5\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Third Option: {4, 4, 9}</h2>

Let A = 4, B = 4, and C = 9

4+4>9\\8>9\ \textsf{false}\\\\4+9>4\\13>4\ \textsf{true}\\\\4+9>4\\13>4\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Fourth Option: {2, 3, 3}</h2>

Let A = 2, B = 3, and C = 3

2+3>3\\5>3\ \textsf{true}\\\\2+3>3\\5>3\ \textsf{true}\\\\3+3>2\\6>2\ \textsf{true}

<h2>Conclusion:</h2>

Since the third option had an inequality that was false, <u>the third option cannot be a triangle.</u>

The triangle theorem which represents the relationship between sides is a-b<c<a+b

First you have four sets.

1) 10-6<12<10+6 => 4< 12 < 16 true

2) 7-5<10<7+5 = 2<10<12 true

3) 4-4<9<4+4 => 0<9<8 not true

4) 3-2<3<3+2 => 1<3<5 true

The set No 3 can not form triangle.

Good luck!!!

A cable 20 feet long connects the top of a flagpole to a point on the ground that is 16 feet from the base of the pole. How tall
timurjin [86]
Think of it like a triangle.

The flagpole is vertical and is at 90° to the ground. This makes a right-angle to the ground, which is flat.

Since we have two sides of the triangle already, and they are in a ratio of ?? : 16 : 20 = ?? : 4 : 5, that means that because the triangle is a right-angled triangle, the third and last side must be 3 to complete the ratio! (This is called 'Pythagoras')

Since the other sides were divided by 4 to get the simple ratio, we must multiply 3 to get the actual ratio! 3 × 4 = 12 ft tall flagpole.

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

If Jeff is types 5 pages at 600 words per page, then he types 3,000 words (5 x 600).

So, if Jeff started typing at 8:15 am, he'd finish at 9:30 am.

Which shows a difference of squares?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

The equations shows a difference of squares are:

<u>10y²- 4x²</u>   $   <u>6y²- x²</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

the difference of two squares is a squared number subtracted from another squared number, it has the general from Ax² - By²

We will check the options to find which shows a difference of squares.

1) 10y²- 4x²

The expression is similar to the general form, so the equation represents a difference of squares.

It can be factored as (√10 y + 2x )( √10 y - 2x)

2) 6y²- x²

The expression is similar to the general form, so the equation represents a difference of squares.

It can be factored as (√6y + x )( √6y - x)

3) 8x²−40x+25

The expression is not similar to the general form, so the equation does not represent a difference of squares.

4) 64x²-48x+9

The expression is not similar to the general form, so the equation does not represent a difference of squares.
