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.
We have the following expression:
(x- (5/2)) ^ 2 = (13/4)
Let's rewrite the given expression:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 = (13/4)
x ^ 2 - 5x + 25/4 - 13/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 12/4 = 0
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
the original equation given to Sam could have been:
x ^ 2 - 5x + 3 = 0
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: $105.84
Step-by-step explanation:
20/100 = x/87.37
*cross multiply*
20*87.37 = 100x
1747.4 = 100x
*divide*
1747.4/100 = x
17.474
*add*
87.37 + 17.474
105.844
*round*
