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.

What is the mean and median of 4,9,26,20,23,0,37??

yan [13]

Answer: Hello, The mean is is 17 and the median is 20

Step-by-step explanation: The mean is a type of average. It is the sum (total) of all the values in a set of data, such as numbers or measurements, divided by the number of values on the list. To find the mean, add up all the values in the set. ... That is the mean. The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. The median is sometimes used as opposed to the mean when there are outliers in the sequence that might skew the average of the values.
