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!!!

Divide each polynomials by the monomials. Choose all that are correct. (9xy2 + 12x3y4 − 6x) ÷ 3x = 4x2y4 + 3y2 − 2 (25x4y2 + 10x
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

(21x^4y + 7x^3y^2 − 28x^2y^2) ÷ 7xy = 3x^3 + x^2y − 4xy

Step-by-step explanation:

(9xy^2 + 12x^3y^4 − 6x) ÷ 3x = 4x^2y^4 + 3y^2 − 2 (False: 9xy^2:3x=3y^2)

25x^4y^2 + 10x^2y^4 − 15y) ÷ 5y = 5x^4y + 2x^3y^2 − 3 (False: 10x^2y^4:5y=2x^2y^3)

(16x^4y^2 + 24x^2y^2 − 8xy^2) ÷ 4xy = 4x^4y + 6xy− 2y(False: 16x^4y^2:4xy=4x^3y)

(21x^4y + 7x^3y^2 − 28x^2y^2) ÷ 7xy = 3x^3 + x^2y − 4xy (True)
