Answer:

The possible lengths are all the real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

<u>The Triangle Inequality Theorem</u> states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side.

Let

c----> the length of the third side of triangle

Applying the triangle inequality theorem

1) 12+8 > c

20 > c

Rewrite

c < 20 in

2) 8+c > 12

c > 12-8

c < 4 in

therefore

4 in < c < 20 in

The possible lengths are all the real numbers greater than 4 inches and less than 20 inches

Answer:

The third side must be smaller than 20 inches and greater than 4 inches

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a, b and c be the lengths of triangle's sides. Then

a+b>c\\ \\a+c>b\\ \\b+c>a

Use this rule in your case. So, if a=12 and b=8, then

12+8>c\\ \\12+c>8\\ \\8+c>12

Hence, you get

c-4\\ \\c>4

From these inequalities, you can state that

4

So, c must be smaller than 20 inches and greater than 4 inches.

Which pair of planets exerts the strongest gravitational force, Saturn and Jupiter, or Mars and Jupiter. Explain
dsp73
Dear Noora7939, the pair of planets that exerts the strongest gravitational force is Saturn and Jupiter, since we know that both Jupiters are the same mass, we'll excuse that. Since the laws of gravity says that the bigger the mass the stronger the gravitational pull, Saturn has the stronger gravitational pull since Saturn is bigger than Mars.

Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation to the exact value or round to two decimal places.
lys-0071 [83]
First set everything to 0.
{x}^{2}  + x - 5
Giving you A= 1 , B= 1 and C= -5
Then input everything into the quadratic formula and either solve by hand or use a calculator.
Note exact values are found by hand, decimals are found using a calculator.
