Can 5ft 9ft 14ft make a triangle?

Mathematics

Llana [10]3 years ago

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.

After counting her weekly earnings, she bought a candy bar for $.45, a pen for 250 and her mom gave her 2.00. She had $5.05 left
horsena [70]

Answer:

She started with $6.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. This problem is meant to have you work backwards from the information given. Firstly, it is important to write all the expenses and earnings she had to her weekly earnings.

Starting Amount = ?

- $0.45 (candy bar)

- $2.50 (pen)

+ $.200 (mom)

End Total = $5.05

2. With this information, this next step will be much easier. With this process, you can now use inverse operations to undo the last few equations.

Firstly, $2.00 given by her mom will be subtracted from $5.05.

Secondly, with our new total of $3.05, $2.50 from purchasing the pen will be added to this amount. This leaves you with $5.55.

Lastly, the $0.45 cents she spent with the candy bar will be added to the $5.55.

This leaves the starting amount to $6.00.

3.  She started with $6.00

Help me do examples for a function and a non function
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

{(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)} and {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)}

Step-by-step explanation:

you really want to think of a function as a vending machine. if you press B12 on a vending machine because thats where the chips are, only the chips should come out. in a function, the input value aka x (B12, what youre putting in) should only have one output value aka y, (the chips)

an example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,4) (5,6)}

an important thing to remember is that one output value can belong to multiple input values. there can be chips (output) in both B12 and C12 (inputs) BUT as i said before, there CANNOT be two outputs for one input. B12 cannot give you both chips and a drink.

using this, another example of a function would be {(1,2) (3,2) (5,2)}

an example of an non function would be {(1,2) (1,4) (5,6)} because x, the input value, has multiple output values which is not possible. the output of 1 can not be 2 and 4 at the same time which we can see in the (x,y) coordinates.
