Answer:

After 140 days

Step-by-step explanation:

The next time both plants will be watered together is simply the LCM of 10 and 14.

10 has multiples: 10, 20, 30, 40 , 50 ....

14 has multiples: 14, 28, 42, 56 ....

When will they next be equal?? That's the LCM.

We first do prime factorization of the numbers and then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number.

<u>Prime Factorization</u>

10 = 2 * 5

14 = 2 * 7

So,

LCM = 2^2 * 5 * 7 = 140

After 140 days

The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. if a triangle has one side that is 8
BartSMP [9]

1st Side: 8

2nd Side: 2x - 1

3rd Side: x

(8) + (2x - 1) > x            (2x - 1) + x > 8                        (x) + (8) > 2x - 1

       2x + 7 > x                     3x - 1 > 8                                8  > x - 1

            2x > -7                         3x > 9                                9  > x

             x > -3.5 (disregard)       x > 3                                 x < 9

3rd Side: x  ⇒ (3 < x < 9)

2nd Side: 2x - 1 ⇒ 2(3) - 1 < x < 2(9) - 1   ⇒   5 < x < 17

Answer: the 3rd side must be between 3 and 9, the 2nd side must be between 5 and 17

What is the length of line segment KJ?
Karolina [17]

Please consider the attached file.

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.

We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:

KJ^2=KM^2+MJ^2

KJ^2=6^2+3^2

KJ^2=36+9

KJ^2=45

Now we will take positive square root on both sides:

\sqrt{KJ^2}=\sqrt{45}

KJ=\sqrt{9\cdot 5}

KJ=3\sqrt{5}

Therefore, the length of line segment KJ is 3\sqrt{5} and option D is the correct choice.
