Answer:
3 unique triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
If you use the Triangle Inequality Theorem, it states that the sum of 2 sides of the triangle would equal more than the third side. So three triangles can be made with those side lengths.
This is a modulus inequality.
First part: when (6x + 2) is positive
6x + 2 < 10
6x < 10 - 2
6x < 8
x < 8/6
x < 4/3
Second part: when (6x + 2) is negative.
-(6x + 2) < 10 Divide both sides of inequality by -1 and change the sign.
(6x + 2) > -10
6x + 2 > -10
6x > -10 - 2
6x > -12 Divide both sides by 6.
x > -12/6
x > -2.
Combined solution: x < 4/3 and x > -2
-2 < x < 4/3.
Graph is a line on the number line between -2 and 4/3.
-2 and 4/3 are excluded from solution.
SIDE LENGTH OF TRIANGLE: 2.14 inches
SIDE LENGTH OF HEXAGON: 6 inches
To solve this problem, we know that the shapes have equal sides as it states “equilateral triangle”. A triangle has 3 sides and a hexagon has 6 sides. We are told the perimeters are the same so you can set their perimeters equal to each other to solve for x. You would get this : 3(1.4x + 2) = 6(0.5x +2)
With basic algebra you would get x= 5
Then you substitute that value into the length sides of the triangle and hexagon. For the triangle you would approx get 2.14 inches and for the hexagon 6 inches
You would subtract 5x from y so y=5x-10
