. (1 pt) Which should be calculated first to solve this story problem? A bus driver drove a bus 43.9 miles per hour for 5 hours

ehidna [41]

Monday: 43.9 miles per hour. 5 hours.
Tuesday: 47.5 miles per hour. 3 hours.

We need to multiply each unit rate by the number of hours traveled per day.

Monday: 43.9 mph * 5 hours = 219.50 miles
Tuesday: 47.5mph * 3 hours = 142.50 miles

Total number of miles: 219.50 miles + 142.50 miles = 362 miles.

indicate whether the measures 8, 14, and 16 can be the side lengths of a triangle. if they can, classify the triangle.

Answers:

A triangle is possible.

The triangle is acute and scalene

=============================================================

Explanation:

We use the triangle inequality theorem to see if a triangle is possible with these side lengths.

Consider the side lengths a, b, and c. A triangle is possible if and only if the following 3 conditions hold true

a+b > c
a+c > b
b+c > a

Basically pick any two sides. If the sum is larger than the third side, then a triangle is possible.

-----------------

In this case we have: a = 8, b = 14, c = 16. The order of the a,b,c values doesn't really matter.

Then:

a+b = 8+14 = 22 which is larger than c = 16. So a+b > c is true.
a+c = 8+16 = 24 is larger than b = 14. So a+c > b is true.
b+c = 14+16 = 30 is larger than a = 8. So b+c > a is true.

All three inequalities mentioned are true; therefore, a triangle is possible with these side lengths.

-----------------

We'll use those a,b,c values in the converse of the pythagorean theorem to determine what kind of triangle this is. So far we know it's scalene because all three side lengths are different. It would be isosceles if it had exactly two equal sides, and equilateral if all 3 sides were the same length.

$a^2+b^2 = c^2\\\\8^2+14^2 = 16^2\\\\260 = 256\\\\$
