Answer:

This is not a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use the triangle inequality theorem you can reach your answer.

The theorem states that if you add the length of any 2 sides together, you will have a length greater than the length of the other side. Using this method we can easily see that 7+6=13 which is less than 21. Meaning this is not a triangle

The length of each side of a regular pentagon is increased by 8 inches, so the perimeter is now 65 inches. What is the original

evablogger [386]

Here as the Pentagon is regular so it's all sides will be of equal length . And if we assume It's each side be s , then it's perimeter is going to be (s+s+s+s+s) = 5s.And as here , each side is increased by 8 inches and then it's perimeter is 65 inches , so we got that it's side after increament is (s+8) inches and original length is s inches . And if it's each side is (s+8) inches , so it's perimeter will be 5(s+8) and as it's equal to 65 inches . So , 5(s+8) = 65
