Which triangle is possible?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

(a) 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality requires the sum of the two short sides exceed the long side.

a) 3 ft + 4 ft = 7 ft > 5 ft . . . . . triangle is possible

b) 4 yd + 1 2/3 yd = 5 2/3 yd < 10 yd . . . . not a possible triangle

c) 3 ft + 3 ft = 6 ft < 7 ft . . . . not a possible triangle

d) 4 in + 4 in = 8 in . . . . not a possible triangle (not greater than 8 in)

The first set of side lengths can form a triangle: 3 ft, 4 ft, 5 ft.

Dan weighs 205 pounds but is only 5 feet 8 inches tall. Evan is 6 feet tall. How much would you expect Evan to weigh if they hav

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

Around 217 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's convert the height into inches.

5 feet 8 = $5\cdot12 + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68$

6 feet $= 6\cdot12 = 72$ .

We can set up a proportion

$\frac{205}{68} = \frac{x}{72}$

We can use the cross products property to find x.

$205\cdot72=14760\\\\\\14760\div68\approx217$

Hope this helped!

<h3>Given :-</h3>

$\\$

x=y-1
x+2y=8

$\\$

$\\$

Value of x
Value of y

$\\$

<h3>Solution:-</h3>

Let say it is first equation:-

x=y-1. . . . (1)

and this is second equation:-

x+2y=8 . . . . (2)

$\\ \\$

Simplifying 1 equation:-

x = y - 1
x +1 = y
y = x + 1

Put this value of y in second equation.

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: x+2y=8$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: x+2(x + 1)=8$

$\\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: x+2x +2=8$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: 3x +2=8$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: 3x=8 - 2$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: 3x=6$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: x=6 \div 3$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \: x= \bf2$

$\\$

to find value of y :-

y = x + 1

y = 2 + 1

y = 3

$\\$

verification:-

$\\$

1 equation:-

x = y - 1

put value of x and y

2 = 3 - 1

2 = 2

LHS = RHS

Hence verified!

$\\$

2 equation:-

$\\$

x+2y=8

put value of x and y

2 + 2 × 3 = 8
2 + 6 = 8
8 = 8

LHS = RHS

Hence verified!

$\\$

Both equation verified!

.°. value of x and y is 2 and 3 respectively

Which of the following describes how to graph the line whose equation is y = x - 1?

jenyasd209 [6]

You would need to substitute a number for y. I would probably put 0 for y which would then give you x.

y = 0

x = 1

Then you can easily graph the point. :)
