A triangle has side lengths of 11 cm and 7 cm. Which could be the value of the third side, 19 cm or 17 cm ?

Mathematics

9966 [12]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

By the triangle side length theorem, the sum of the two shorter sides has to be equal to or larger than the third side. Thus, we can write the following inequation.

a

+

b

≥

c

, where a and b are the shorter sides and c the longest.

11, 9 and 15 satisfies this inequality while 11, 9 and 20 doesn't.

Justification:

The reason for this rule is simple; it's because if the longest side is longer than the sum of the two shorter sides, this means that the shorter sides aren't long enough to connect with the longest side, thus rendering the shape a collection of lines and disqualifying the possibility of having a triangle, which was our objective.

Practice exercises:

Which of the following triangles is possible?

a) 4,6 and 14

b) 5,11 and 16

c) 1,3,6

D). 12,19 and 26

Find the smallest possible value of a to make the following an actual triangle :

a

,

14

,

25

Find f(x) if it is known that f(x+3)=4x+12.
MArishka [77]

Solution:

we are given that

f(x+3)=4x+12

we have been asked to find f(x).

we can find the value of f(x) by re-writing the given function in the form of f(x+3) and thereafter we will replace (x+3) by x.

we can re-write the given function as below

f(x+3)=4(x+3)\\\\\Rightarrow f(x)=4x\\

Hence the expression representing f(x) is f(x)=4x+3.

A study has shown that the daily amount of milk produced by a dairy cow is normally distributed, with a mean of 6.2 gallons and
V125BC [204]

Answer:

5.5 gallons to 6.9 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Daily a cow

produces a mean of 6.2 gallons (average

of 6.2 gallons, meaning they already

found the mean, "averaged" it out for

you) with a deviation of 7 gallons ("give

or take" .7 gallons). On any given day

(throw these words out) 68% of the cows

(don't need this information to answer

the question either, thrown in to confuse

you) will produce an amount of milk

within which of the following ranges?

Just subtract the deviation ("give or

take number").7 gallons from the mean

(average (already determined)) 6.2

gallons which is 5.5 gallons THEN add

the deviation ("give or take number").

7 gallons to the mean (average (already

determined)) 6.2 gallons which is 6.9

gallons. Your answer is A 5.5 gallons to

6.9 gallons. You don't even have to go

crazy on the math on this question you

can rule them all out but A immediately

with subtracting .7 from 6.2.

hope it helps!

The measure of<br> an exterior angle<br> of a regular<br> octagon is x + 10.<br> Find x.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

x = 35

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the exterior angles of a polygon = 360°

Then

1 exterior angle = 360° ÷ 8 = 45° , so

x + 10 = 45 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

x = 35
