Mathematics

g100num [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. yes, see answer for reasoning

b. no, see answer for reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

to determine the possibility of a triangle, you must know that for any a,b,c side lengths of a triangle, these must be true:

a+b>c

a+c>b

b+c>a

this means that the sums of the measures of two legs of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the remaining leg.

a. 7+8.7=15.7> 15.4 yes

7+15.4=22.4>8.7 yes

8.7+15.4=24.1>7 yes

this triangle is possible.

b. 12+5=17 is NOT > 18.9

the above reasoning is not true, so this triangle is impossible.

Question 7

(37,065 - 26, 102)/(37, 065) = P/100

(10, 963)/(37, 065) = P/100

37, 065P = (10, 963)(100)

37,065P = 109, 630

P = 109, 630 ÷ 37, 065

P = 2.9577768785

P = 295.78%

Do likewise for the rest of the questions.

To change from decimal to percent, move the decimal point two places to the right and then add the percent symbol (%).
