Can segments with lengths of 15, 20, and 36 form a triangle?

1 answer:

5 0

Ok, so remember

the legnth of the longest side must be LESS THAN the sum of the measures of the other 2 sides
if no longest side (becasue it has 2 longest sides or 3 equal sides), then it can form a triangle

so the longest side is 36

36 must be less than the sum of 15 and 20
36<15+20
36<35
false

therfor it cannot form a triangle
try it yourself, you cannot connect them that way

Isabel drove 864 miles in 12 hours.<br> At the same rate, how many miles would she drive in 7 hours?

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

504 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Make a proportion

$\frac{864}{12}$ = $\frac{x}{7}$

7/12 is 0.5833, so multiply 864 by that to find the number of miles

864(0.5833) = 504

For the geometric series given by 5 + 10 + 20+ . . . , which of the following statements is FALSE?

slava [35]

Answer:

All statements are true

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The statement $S_{500}>S_{499}$ is true, because $S_{499}$ is the sum of first 499 terms, $S_{500}$ is the sum of first 500 terms, and all these terms are positive, then the sum of smaller number of terms is less than the sum of larger number of terms.

2. The statement $S_{500}>a_{500}$ is true, because $S_{500}$ is the sum of first 500 terms, $a_{500}$ is 500th term and the sum of 500 terms is greater than the 500th term.
