Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>
Options are:
</em></u>
- <em>2 feet
</em>
- <em>3 feet
</em>
- <em>9 feet
</em>
- <em>15 feet
</em>
- <em>19 feet
</em>
- <em>21 feet
</em>
- <em>30 feet</em>
<em>-------------------------------------</em>
Use the triangle inequality theorem: sum of any two side must be greater than the third side by length
- 2 feet ⇒ no, as 2 + 9 < 12
- 3 feet ⇒ no, as 3 + 9 = 12
- 9 feet ⇒ yes
- 15 feet ⇒ yes
- 19 feet ⇒ yes
- 21 feet ⇒ no, as 9 + 12 = 21
- 30 feet ⇒ no, as 9 + 12 < 30
The width could be 6 and the length coupd be 2 or vice versa
The property of 16 + 31 = 31 + 16 is called Commutative Property.
The property states that the order does not matter. This includes both multiplication and addition. Other examples include 4 + 2 = 2 + 4, or even 10 + 9 + 3 = 3 + 9 + 10. In easier words, the problem is just the backwards version of the original problem.
So we know the tank already has 5 gallons and we need 9. This means we need 4 more gallons in order to fill up the tank.
If 1/4 gallon is being filled per minute we need to find out how many 1/4 gallons makes up 4 gallons in total.
4 of the 1/4 gallons makes up 1 whole gallon. So since we need 4 whole gallons we would need 16 of the 1/4 gallons.
This means that it will take 16 minutes for the tank to hold 9 gallons of water.
Idk dude use your brain to think about it or maybe go to the lessons to review
