The length of the first two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the last side. If the longest length were 18, the first two sides would be too short. 36-18=18, 18 is equal not greater than 18 which means the sum of the first two sides are too short.
Given parameters:
y varies directly as w;
This interpreted implies that as y increases, we increases by a certain factor or amount;
So, y ∝ w
y = kw
where k is the constant of proportionality
Now, given that y = 8 and w = 2
Input in the equation to solve for k;
8 = k x 2
Solving k gives, k = 4
Now to the second part,
if v is directly proportional to w;
v = k w
So v = 4w
The equation that relates v to w is v = 4w
8/90 in simplest form is 4/45
