No, the longest side must be less than the sum of the smaller sides or else they won't connect (try it yourself with straw or something)
40+30>120
70>120
false, therfor they canonot be a triangle
The vertex and the t-intercept where t>0, will help solve this problem. Sending the work on the attachment.
Use rates, so 8 garden hoses over 18 hours
then find the how many hours one garden house can fill up by doing this = 18/8 you divide the 8 for both sides which is about 2.25/1
so then you times 9 which is about 20/9 hoses
your answer is 20
