Since the perimeter must not exceed 291.
Let the third side be x.
x + 87 + 64 < 291
x + 151 < 291.
x < 291 -151.
x < 140. (First)
But for a triangle there is what is called the Triangle Inequality Theorem. That given the two sides of a tringle, the third side of the triangle must greater than the positive difference between the two sides and less than the sum of the two sides.
So for this case. 87 and 64.
x > ( 87 - 64). x > 23.
x < (87 + 64) x < 151. Combine both inequalities.
23 < x < 151 (second).
Combining First and second. Both must be satisfied.
So we have a more accurate answer as:
23 < x < 140. x is greater than 23 and x is less than 140.
x could be 24, 25, 26, 27, ......, 139. cm.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
your answer should be (-3,-7)
To make this easy let covert everything using a LCD.
The LCD of 1/4 1/12 and 1/6 is 12. This becomes...
Tom ate 3/12 of the pizza.
Leftover pizza = 9/12.
Slices were 1/12.
X friends got pizza.
Remaining pizza is 2/12.
if each friend got 1 piece(1/12)....
9/12(Leftovers) - 2/12(remaining) = 7/12
So 7 friends got pizza.
7 gallons for minute because 49 divided by 7 (which is the mins) would be 7. Leading to the answer of ) gallons per minute
The answer is a. number of boys < 89.
