To form a triangle the sum of the two shorter sides must be greater than the longest side.
5, 5, 3 forms a triangle (isosceles)
8, 8, 8 forms a triangle (equilateral)
5, 6, 10 forms a triangle (obtuse angled scalene)
7, 8, 15 technically forms a triangle with an area of zero units. The vertices would be co-linear.
This will often be ignored as it has little practical use.
Fun fact. If you break a stick into 3 random lengths there is only a 25% chance they will be able to form a triangle.
Answer:
Part A
12 months a year means
%74.5 x 12 = $894
Part B
4 weeks in a month means
$74.5 ÷ 4 = $18.625
But rounded to the nearest penny. . .
$18.62
because in the thousandths place was a 5 and you round up when there is a 5 or above
Part C
We will go with 31 days in a month, but I will also do 30 for you
$74.5 ÷ 30 = $2.48333
But rounded to the nearest penny. . .
$2.48
because you round down when there is anything less than a 4
$74.5 ÷ 31 = $2.40322580645
But rounded to the nearest penny. . .
$2.40
because you round down when there is anything less than a 4
