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.

marissa [1.9K]
<span>When converting a number with meters per second to a value with kilometers per second they best way to perform this operation is by using dimensional analysis or the factor label method. You would set up the equation starting with 5120 m/s times 1 km / 1000 m times 3600 s / 1 hr. It would look like this: (5120 m/ 1 s) x (1 km / 1000 m) x (3600 s / 1 hr) Your next step would be multiplying all the top numbers (numerators) together 5120 x 1 x 3600 = 18,432,000 Now multiple on the bottom numbers (denominators) together 1 x 1000 x 1 = 1000 Now you can divide the top product by the bottom product. 18,432,000 / 1000 = 18,432 km/hr is your final answer.</span>

Katarina [22]

Answer:

Each student gets 2 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

So you would divide 7 by 3, which you can't...so 6 divided by 3 is 2, and when you split the last one into thirds you can each have 1/3. Add the sections together, and each person gets 2 1/3
