Two sides of a triangle measure 14 inches and 8 inches. which cannot be the length of the remaining side?

1 answer:

3 0

1. The "triangle inequality" states that any of the sides of the triangle, is larger than the difference of the other 2 sides (the larger minus the smaller), and it is smaller than the sum of them.

2. So the third side of this triangle must be larger than 14-8=6 (in) and smaller than 14+8=22 (in)

3. So let a denote the remaining side, then 6 < a < 22, which means a can be any number in between 6 and 22 inches.

hillary is cycling across montana taking a 845 mile course . the first week she covered.320 miles. the second week she traveled

Blababa [14]

Answer:

175 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Hillary has travelled

320 + 350 = 670 miles

in the first two weeks.

Therefore, Hillary starts with 670 miles and needs to add a certain number of miles "x" to get 845 in total.

670 + x = 845

And if we subtract 670 from both sides:

x = 845 - 670 = 175

175 miles

Find x and y please!!! I need help!!

jonny [76]

Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

(15x-8y)=52

180=90+52+x

x=38

System of equations:

15x-8y=52

6x+14y=38

y=-6.5+15/8x

6x+14(-6.5+15/8x)=38

6x-91+26.25x=38

32.25x=129

x=4

15(4)-8y=52

60-8y=52

-8y=-8

y=1

x=4
