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.

Answer:

181 mi^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimensions of large rectangle, on the left, are 6 mi by 8 m; area is 48 m^2;

Dimensions of small rectangle, in the middle of the diagram, are 4 mi by 5 mi, or 20 mi^2; area is 20 mi^2.

Dimensions of circle:  r = 12 mi; area of quarter circle is (1/4)(3.14)(12 mi)^2, or 113 mi^2.

Total area is 113 mi^2 + 20 mi^2 + 48 mi^2, or 181 mi^2

Answer:

3^2, 9 students.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm not 100 percent sure about this but I'm pretty sure that because there are 3 rows you can just do 3^2 which is 9.

For how many minutes did Lynn run at a greater speed than Kael? 12 17 23 28.
Archy [21]

Answer:

<u><em>28 minutes.</em></u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see from our graph that 12 minutes after starting the race Lynn left Kael behind and he ran at a greater speed till the race ended after 40 minutes.

To find total number of minutes Lynn ran faster than Kael we will subtract 12 from 40.

Therefore, Lynn ran at a greater speed than Kael for <u><em>28 minutes.</em></u>
