Answer:

A) 2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem, the sum of the measure of any two sides of a triangle MUST be larger than the measure of the third side.  In this case, with sides 3cm and 5cm, the third side would have to be at least 3cm in order for the smallest two sides to be larger than the third side:

3cm + 3cm = 6 cm > 5cm

However, if the third side was only 2cm, then the two smaller sides would be 5cm, which is only equal to and not larger than the third side:

3cm + 2cm = 5cm

Any other measurements larger than 3cm, when added to the given side of 3cm, would be larger than 5cm and would form a triangle.  So, the only measure that would NOT form a triangle would be 2cm.

The diameter of a circle is 16 centimeters. How would you calculate the area?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: 201.06

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a circle with the radius, square the radius, or multiply it by itself. Then, multiply the squared radius by pi, or 3.14, to get the area. To find the area with the diameter, simply divide the diameter by 2, plug it into the radius formula, and solve as before.

Hope this helps!

Using this formula

Interest =principal×rate×time/100

Principal is the actual growth=3ft

Rate is the 32%

Time is 3yrs

Interest =3×32×3/100

Interest =2.88

To get the value for 3yrs,add the interest to the principal value

Exact value in 3yrs=

3+2.88

=5.88 feet tall
