Can the sides of a triangle be in the given ratio? 3:4:5

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine if a triple of values will form a triangle, we must apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem, which states that for a triangle with lengths a, b, and c:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Here, let's suppose that since the ratio of the sides is 3 : 4 : 5, then let the actual side lengths be 3x, 4x, and 5x, where x is simply a real value.

With loss of generality, set a = 3x, b = 4x, and c = 5x. Plug these into the Triangle Inequality to check:

a + b > c  ⇒  3x + 4x  >?  5x  ⇒  7x > 5x  ⇒  This is true

a + c > b  ⇒  3x + 5x  >?  4x  ⇒  8x > 4x  ⇒  This is also true

b + c > a  ⇒  4x + 5x  >?  3x  ⇒  9x > 3x  ⇒  This is true

Since all three conditions are satisfied, we know that a true triangle can be formed given that the ratio of their sides is 3 : 4 : 5.

1. the sum of two rational numbers is always always a (irrational number / rational number)
Blizzard [7]

One

The sum of two rational numbers is always rational. sqrt(9) + sqrt(25) = 3 + 5 which is rational. sqrt(16/100) = 4/10 = 2/5 is also rational. 3/28 is rational as well.

Two

Those are irrational. sqrt(10) + pi = ???? You cannot reduce this to any kind of fraction. Two irrationals always give a rational.

Three

The irrational number controls the answer. 10 + sqrt(5) is irrational. The 10 is OK. It is raional, but sqrt(5) is not a rational number.
