How many unique triangles can be drawn with side lengths 8 in., 12 in., and 24 in.? Explain. Any three sides form a unique trian

gle, so these lengths can be used to draw exactly 1 triangle. If you draw two of the sides together, the third side could angle in or out from the existing angle, so these lengths can be used to draw exactly 2 triangles. Two of the side lengths add to a sum that is less than the third side length, so these lengths cannot be used to draw any triangles. Any three sides form many triangles with different angles, so these lengths can be used to draw infinitely many triangles.

Answer:

Two of the side lengths add to a sum that is less than the third side length, so these lengths cannot be used to draw any triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The <u><em>Triangle Inequality Theorem</em></u> states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side.

<em>Verify</em>

1) 8+12 > 24

20>24 ----> is not true

so

The Triangle Inequality Theorem is not satisfied

therefore

Two of the side lengths add to a sum that is less than the third side length, so these lengths cannot be used to draw any triangles

Find the remaining trigonometric functions of θ based on the given information.csc θ = 257 and cos θ &lt; 0
katrin [286]
Cos(<span>θ) < 0, so we know it would be in Quadrant 2 or 3
then csc(</span>θ) = 257, but csc(θ) = \frac{1}{sin(θ)} = 257
==> sin(<span>θ) = \frac{1}{257}
it is positive, so now we can determine that is in Quadrant 2

sin(</span>θ) = opp./hyp both of opp and hyp are positive but adj suppose to negative because that way it leads the cos(<span>θ) < 0
</span>cos(<span>θ) = adj/hyp
</span>Pythereom to find the adj: 257^{2} -  1^{2}  = adj ==\ \textgreater \  adj  \sqrt{ 257^{2} -   1^{2} } ==\ \textgreater \  adj = 16 \sqrt{258}

cosθ = \frac{16 \sqrt{258} }{257} &#10;
tanθ = \frac{1}{16 \sqrt{258} }
cos<span>θ = </span>16 \sqrt{258}

A ladder is leaning up against a 17 foot Wall at an angle of elevation of 37°. How far is the foot of the latter from the wall?
inn [45]
This is the concept of trigonometry, the distance from the foot of the ladder will be given by:
tan theta=[opposite]/[adjacent]
opposite=17 ft
adjacent=x ft
theta=37°
thus
tan 37=17/x
x=17/tan 37
x=22.56 ft
=22.6 ft (to the nearest 10th of a foot)
