Heya !
Using a theoram about triangles ,
Given a triangle ∆ABC, the sum of the lengths of any two sides of the triangle is greater than the length of the third side ,
Also , the length of third side always greater than absolute difference of the other two sides ,
Let the third side be x ,
So , x < 9 + 8 and x > 9 - 8
x < 17 and x > 1
Hence , x ∈ [ 2 , 17 ] inch.
Above case is true for any triangle , be it scalene , Isosceles , Right-angled ...
As , for Isosceles , the third side can be 8 or 9 inches ,
For scalene , all values in the above range satusfies ,
For right angled triangle , we have 2 cases ,
Case 1 : Third side is the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²+8²) = √145 = 12.0415 inch.
Case 2 : Third side is not the hypotenuse
Then , x = √(9²-8²) = √17 = 4.1231 inch.
Hope it helps you ! :)
Answer:
3 or 4 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 people carrying the 14 bags.
14/4 = 3.5
You can't carry half a bag, due to logical constraints. Therefore, 2 people will carry 3 bags, and 2 people will carry 4.
8 pounds 10 ounces = 138 ounces
3 classrooms = 138 ounces
1 classroom = 138/3
= 46 ounces
= 2 pounds 14 ounces
Each classroom should receive 2 pounds and 14 ounces of candy.
