Answer:

$12.1 < Y < 35.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Sides: 11.5 and 23.6

Required

Determine the range of the third side

Let the third side with Y

<em>Two of the following conditions must be satisfied to calculate the range of the third side</em>

<em></em> $11.5 + Y > 23.6$

$23.6+ Y > 11.5$

$11.5 + 23.6 > Y$

We'll solve one after other

1. $11.5 + Y > 23.6$

$Y > 23.6 - 11.5$

$Y > 12.1$

2. $23.6+ Y > 11.5$

$Y > 11.5- 23.6$

$Y > -12.1$

3. $11.5 + 23.6 > Y$

$35.1 > Y$

$Y < 35.1$

Inequalities with negative can't be used' So, we have

$Y > 12.1$ and $Y < 35.1$

Rewrite inequality

$12.1 < Y$ and $Y < 35.1$

Combine inequality

$12.1 < Y < 35.1$

A bag contains 3 red, 6 blue, 5 purple, and 2 orange marbles. One marble is selected at random. What is the probability that the

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

$P(blue)=37.5\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

-Probability is the likelihood of an event occurring.

-The total number of events is:

$Total=3+6+5+2\\\\=16$

-The total number of blue events is:

$Blue=6$

#Probability of a blue is thus calculated as:

$P(Blue)=\frac{Blue}{Total}\\\\=\frac{6}{16}\\\\=0.375\\\\=37.5\%$

Hence, the probability of choosing a blue marble at random is 37.5%

Will side lengths of 3 cm, 4 cm, and 5 cm form a triangle? explain.

Gelneren [198K]

Yes, that is the famous first Pythagorean triplet: 3²+4²=5²

or

For three lengths to be able to form a triangle, it suffices that every one of those lengths is shorter than the sum and longer than the difference of the other two.

It is enough to check just one side.

So,

3 + 4 > 5

4 - 3 < 5

Your triangle is constructible.

Explain how to evaluate simplify and convert to radical form (x^3/8)^3/4

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4} = \sqrt[32]{x^9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4}$

Required

Convert to radical form

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4}$

Evaluate the exponents

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4} = x^\frac{3*3}{8*4}$

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4} = x^\frac{9}{32}$

Split the exponent

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4} = (x^9)^\frac{1}{32}$

Apply the following law of indices

$(x^a)^\frac{1}{b} = \sqrt[b]{x^a}$

So, we have:

$(x^\frac{3}{8})^\frac{3}{4} = \sqrt[32]{x^9}$
