Which of these four sets of side lengths will form a right triangle?

Answer:

Set 1, Set 2, Set 3

Explanation:

In order to form a triangle:

- The longest side must be no longer than the sum of the other 2 sides

- The shortest side must be no shorter than the difference between the other 2 sides

If we call a, b, c the lengths of the 3 sides, with c = longest side and a = shortest side, this means that:

cc-b

Let's now analyze the 4 sets and see if they satisfy the conditions or not:

Set 1:

a = 6 cm,  b = 7 cm, c = 12 cm

We see that

12 < 6 + 7 --> OK

6 > 12 - 7 OK

So, this set can form a triangle.

Set 2:

a = 8 in,  b = 29 in, c = 35 in

We see that

35 < 8 + 29 --> OK

8 > 35 - 29 --> OK

So, this set can form a triangle.

Set 3:

a = 3 mm,  b = 4 mm, c = 5 mm

We see that

5 < 3+4 --> OK

3 > 5-4 --> OK

So, this set can form a triangle.

Set 4:

a = 6 ft,  b = 9 ft, c = 26 ft

We see that

27 < 6 + 9 --> NO

6 > 26-9 --> NO

So, this set CANNOT form a triangle.

Answer: The main type of conflict in this part of the text is <u>person vs. society.</u>

Explanation:

In the text, it is described that Ernesto, a sixteen-year-old, is discriminated against due to his race. Discrimination on the basis of one's skin color is an issue that was largely present in the past, which some people still face. This is a conflict between an individual (Ernesto, in this case) and the society (fans), because people who discriminate black people against are often in majority. Ernesto and his team need to be united in fighting this racial prejudices.
