Answer:

Infinitely many triangles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the lengths of two sides are 8 inches and 10 inches.

Let's assume third side = x inches.

Using the Triangle Inequalities given as follows:-

1. a+b > c,

2. b+c > a,

3. c+a > b.

Using the lengths given in the problem, we can write:-

1. x+8 > 10 ⇔ x > 10-8 ⇔ x > 2.

2. x+10 > 8 ⇔ x > 8-10 ⇔ x > -2.

3. 8+10 > x ⇔ x < 18.

So, the solution set is 2 < x < 18. It means third side can take any value in interval (2, 18).

Hence, there are infinitely many triangles.

Goods are purchased for ₹1500. If one fifth of the goods sold at a profit of 5% and the remaining four-fifth of the goods at a p

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1/5 good = 1500*1/5= 300

Profit= 5%

SP = (profit+100)/100*CP

SP= (5+100)/100*300

SP = 105/100*300

SP= 1.05*300= 315

Cost of 4/5 good = 1500*4/5= 1200

Profit= 10%

SP= (profit+100)/100*CP

SP= (10+100)/100*1200

SP = 110/100*1200

SP= 1.10*1200= 1320

Total SP = 315+1320= 1635

Net profit= 1635-1500= 135

Profit% = 135/1500*100%

Profit% = 0.09*100%

Profit% = 9%

What’s the correct answer for this?

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

In the image, we can notice that NQ is longer than PQ, similar to how JH is longer than NJ. Thus, NQ must be aligned with JH and PQ with JN. As PN and HN are clearly the longest for each triangle, those must be aligned as well.

All of the responses have NP and NH aligned.

The last response does not have NQ aligned with JH.

The second and third do not align PQ and JN.

The first option is our answer.

Question 14

Reil [10]

Answer:

The system of equations has a one unique solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To quickly determine the number of solutions of a linear system of equations, we need to express each of the equations in slope-intercept form, so we can compare their slopes, and decide:

1) if they intersect at a unique point (when the slopes are different) thus giving a one solution, or

2) if the slopes have the exact same value giving parallel lines (with no intersections, and the y-intercept is different so there is no solution), or

3) if there is an infinite number of solutions (both lines are exactly the same, that is same slope and same y-intercept)

So we write them in slope -intercept form:

First equation:

$6x+y=-1\\y=-6x-1$

second equation:

$-6x-4y=4\\-6x=4y+4\\-6x-4=4y\\y=-\frac{3}{2} x-1$

So we see that their slopes are different (for the first one slope = -6, and for the second one slope= -3/2) and then the lines must intercept in a one unique point. Therefore the system of equations has a one unique solution.
