Answer:

c=4

Step-by-step explanation:

a=9, b=6, c=?

|a-b|<c<|a+b| (Triangle inequality)

|9-6|<c<|9+6|

|3|<c<|15|

3<c<15

then c=4 (smallest possible)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the third side = x.

The sum of any two sides must be greater than the third side

9+6 > x

15 > x

9 + x > 6

x > 6-9

x > -3

6+ x > 9

x > 9-6

x > 3

So 3 < x < 15

Therefore the smallest whole number length the third side could have is 4.

The largest whole number length the third side could have is 14.

Enter a range of values of x

igomit [66]

Answer:

$-5$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if two corresponding sides of two triangles are equal, then third sides of the triangles depend on angle between equal sides.

Angle opposite to larger side is larger.

Since, 14 < 15, therefore

$2x+10$

$2x$

$x$ ...(1)

We know that, angle can not not negative.

$2x+10>0$

$2x>-10$

$x>-5$ ...(2)

From (1) and (2), we get

$-5$

Therefore, the range of values of x is $-5$ .

Herbert has sold 99, 37, 86, and 73 copeirs in the last 4 months, respectivly. How many copiers will he need to sell this month

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Therefore 80 ceperies will he need to sell this month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average: Average is the ratio of sum of all numbers to the total number present in the data.

Given that Herbert has sold 99, 37, 86 and 73 copeirs in the last 4 months.

Let he need to sell x copeirs in this month.

According to the problem,

$\frac{99+37+86+73+x}{5}=75$

⇒ 99+37+86+73+x= 75×5

⇒295 + x= 375

⇒x = 375 - 295

⇒ x= 80

Therefore 80 ceperies will he need to sell this month.

A 3 cm x 3 cm rectangle sits inside a circle with radius of 4 cm.

Ivanshal [37]

Step-by-step explanation:

you did not show us the picture or described what the shaded area is.

I assume it is the area of the circle without the inner square (as the "rectangke" is actually a square, because its sides are equally long).

so, we need to calculate the area of the circle and subtract the area of the square.

the area of the square is 3×3 = 9 cm².

the area of the circle is

pi×r²

with r being the radius.

so,

pi×4² = pi×16 = 16pi

the shaded area is then

16pi - 9 = 41.26548246... cm² ≈ 41.27 cm²

nothing of the answer options seems to be in that area, so maybe my assumption about the shaded area is wrong. or the specified answer options are mistyped. or both.

anyway, without additional information that is the best I can do.
