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.

Simplify: (x+7)(x-4)

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

x² + 3x - 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor

(x + 7)(x - 4)

= x(x - 4) + 7(x - 4) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x² - 4x + 7x - 28 ← collect like terms

= x² + 3x - 28

X-3y=7 and 2x-6y=12 solving by elimination

Ber [7]

x-3y=7 2x-6y=12

You can multiply -2 in the first equation like this.

x+6y=7

2x-6y=12

Now you can eliminate 6y and -6y so cross them out and do x-2 which is -1 and 7-12 which is -5 -1/-5 would be .2
