Can 5ft 9ft 14ft make a triangle?

Answer: No, those measurements cannot make a triangle

Why not? Because of the fact that the first two sides (5 and 9) add to 5+9 = 14, which is exactly as long as the third side. I recommend you using a ruler to measure out 5 inches, 9 inches and 14 inches. Mark all three as separate segments on a piece of paper. Then cut out those segments to form strips of paper with the given lengths. Then try to form a triangle. You'll find that it is impossible since the smaller segments combine perfectly to get the longest segment. Instead of a triangle, you'll only have a line segment forming.

As a rule, when you add any two sides of a triangle, they must add to something larger than the third side. The rule more formally is

For any triangle with sides a,b,c, the following three inequalities must hold true

  • a+b > c
  • a+c > b
  • b+c > a

Answer:

Any dimensions can make a triangle, however

this does not make a right angled triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Determine the length of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with side lengths 5ft and 9ft by using the formula:

a^2+b^2=c^2\\

\sqrt{a^2+b^2} = c

c=10.29

This is not equal to 14ft.

Use the Shell Method to find the volume of the solid obtained by rotating region under the graph of f(x)=x^2+2 for 0≤x≤5 about x
Irina18 [472]

For each <em>x</em> in the interval 0 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 5, the shell at that point has

• radius = 5 - <em>x</em>, which is the distance from <em>x</em> to <em>x</em> = 5

• height = <em>x</em> ² + 2

• thickness = d<em>x</em>

and hence contributes a volume of 2<em>π</em> (5 - <em>x</em>) (<em>x</em> ² + 2) d<em>x</em>.

Taking infinitely many of these shells and summing their volumes (i.e. integrating) gives the volume of the region:

\displaystyle 2\pi \int_0^5 (5-x)(x^2+2)\,\mathrm dx=2\pi\int_0^5 (10-2x+5x^2-x^3)\,\mathrm dx=\boxed{\frac{925\pi}6}
