Answer:

The two sides of the triangle are 9 cm and 15 cm. Let the length of the third side is x. According to triangle inequalities, in a triangle sum of the two sides is must be greater than the third side. So, the length of the third side is less than 24 cm.

Answer:

option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of any 2 sides of a triangle should be more than the third side. Here already measure of 2 sides have been given. So ,

3rd side < (15 + 9)

=> 3rd side < 24cm

Hence 3rd side should be less than 24 cm. Here 23 cm (option A) is less than 24cm. So it can be the measure of 3rd side

Elliot spent $16.15 on ground beef at a grocery store. He purchased 3 and 2 over 5 pounds of ground beef. What is the price per

Andrej [43]

We want to know how much is the price per pound (or unit rate) of ground beef, given that we know the price for Elliot's purchase. We will see that each pound costs $4.75

So we know that (3 + 2/5) lb of ground beef costs $16.15, the cost of a single pound will be given by the quotient between the total cost and the amount purchased, then we need to solve:

$P =\frac{ \$ 16.15}{(3 + 2/5)lb}$
