In triangle RST, m∠R > m∠S + m∠T. Which must be true of triangle RST? Check all that apply.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

1. m∠R > 90°

2. m∠S + m∠T < 90°

4. m∠R > m∠T

5. m∠R > m∠S

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>General strategy</h3>
  1. prove the statement starting from known facts, or
  2. disprove the statement by finding a counterexample

Helpful fact:  Recall that the Triangle Sum Theorem states that m∠R + m∠S + m∠T = 180°.

<u>Option 1.  m∠R > 90°</u>

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding m∠R to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + m∠R > m∠R + m∠S + m∠T

There are two things to note here:

  1. The left side of this inequality is 2*m∠R
  2. The right side of the inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression

2* m∠R > 180°

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

m∠R > 90°

So, the first option must be true.

<u>Option 2.  m∠S + m∠T < 90°</u>

Start with m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

Adding (m∠S + m∠T) to both sides of the inequality...

m∠R + (m∠S + m∠T) >  m∠S + m∠T + (m∠S + m∠T)

There are two things to note here:

  1. The left side of this inequality is exactly equal to the Triangle Sum Theorem expression
  2. The right side of the inequality is 2*(m∠S+m∠T)

Substituting

180° > 2* (m∠S+m∠T)

Dividing both sides of the inequality by 2...

90° > m∠S+m∠T

So, the second option must be true.

<u>Option 3.  m∠S = m∠T</u>

Not necessarily.  While m∠S could equal m∠T, it doesn't have to.  

Example 1:  m∠S = m∠T = 10°;  By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 160°, and the angles satisfy the original inequality.

Example 2:  m∠S = 15°, and m∠T = 10°;  By the triangle sum Theorem, m∠R = 155°, and the angles still satisfy the original inequality.

So, option 3 does NOT have to be true.

<u>Option 4.  m∠R > m∠T</u>

Start with the fact that ∠S is an angle of a triangle, so m∠S cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠S > 0.

Add m∠T to both sides.

(m∠S) + m∠T > (0) + m∠T

m∠S + m∠T > m∠T

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠T.

So, option 4 must be true.

<u>Option 5.  m∠R > m∠S</u>

Start with the fact that ∠T is an angle of a triangle, so m∠T cannot be zero or negative, and thus m∠T > 0.

Add m∠S to both sides.

m∠S + (m∠T) > m∠S + (0)

m∠S + m∠T > m∠S

Recall that m∠R > m∠S + m∠T.

By the transitive property of inequalities, m∠R > m∠S.

So, option 5 must be true.

<u>Option 6.  m∠S > m∠T</u>

Not necessarily.  While m∠S could be greater than m∠T, it doesn't have to be.  (See examples 1 and 2 from option 3.)

So, option 6 does NOT have to be true.

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 280 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11 mph and 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his average speed going by r1 and his average speed returning by r2.  We know that r1 = r2 + 9.

Recall that distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.

Time spent going was (280 mi) / r1, or (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph).

Time spend returning was (280 mi) / r2.

The total time was 14 hrs, so (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph) + (280 mi) / r2 = 14 hrs

Note that there is only one variable here:  r2.  Find r2, and then from r2, find r1:

Dividing all 3 terms by 14 hrs yields:

  20            20

---------- + ----------- = 1

r2 + 9         r2

The LCD here is r2(r2 + 9).  Thus, we have:

      20r2                    (r2 +  9)(r2)

------------------- = 1 or  ------------------

 (r2 +  9)(r2)               (r2 +  9)(r2)

Then 20(r2) = (r2)^2 + 9(r2).  This is reducible by dividing all terms by r2:

20 = r2 + 9, or 11 = r2.  Then r1 = 11 + 9, or 20.

The two rates were 11 mph and 20 mph.
