The lengths of two sides of a triangle are 20 cm and 32 cm.

Mathematics

Mariana [72]3 years ago

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

By the Triangle Inequality Theorem, for sides a, b, and c of a triangle:

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

Here, we already have two sides of lengths 20 and 32. We want to see if the third side can be 10 cm. Suppose a = 32, b = 20, and c = 10. According to the Triangle Inequality Theorem:

20 + 32 >? 10  ⇒  52 > 10    -----   that's good

32 + 10 >? 20  ⇒  42 > 20     -----   that's also good

20 + 10 >? 32  ⇒  30 > 32     -----   this is false

So, the third side cannot be 10 because that would violate the theorem.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

it cannot

Step-by-step explanation:

because if you add 10 + 20 it is 30 which is less than 32

How much power is done when a 1 newton weighted object is raised a vertical distance of 1
STatiana [176]

Answer:

P = 1W

Step-by-step explanation:

The power is the work done by a force, divided by the time it needed. The work of weight, since the object is raised is equal to:

W = weight × distance = 1 × 1 = 1 Joule

W = 1 J

P = W/t = 1 J / 1 s = 1 Watt

So P = 1 Watt

A triangular bookself has a base of 10 inches,12 inches and 18 inches. Will the bookself fit in the corner of a square living ro
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

No, if fit means that the sides of the book case need to be flush with the wall, which means that the sides of the bookcase are touching the wall and the bookcase fits perfectly in that spot

Step-by-step explanation:

A square room will have corners that meause 90°, so we need to see if any of the vertices of the bookcase measure 90°.  All right triangles have a 90° in them, so we can use Pythagorean Theorem to solve this.

 Pythagorean Theorem is  a² + b² = c²,    where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse.  Since the hypotenuse is always the longest side, for our bookshelf, 10 and 12 are the legs, and 18 would be the hypotenuse if it is a right triangle.   Plug the values in to see if the equation is true or false

10² + 12² = 18²

  100 + 144 = 324

     244 ≠ 324   so the bookcase does not form a right angle, and won't fit in the corner of the room

If a quadratic polynomial has an absolute minimum at (-3,-5), what is the range of the polynomial?
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

range: (-5, ∞)

domain: (-∞, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

given vertex, absolute minimum: (-3, -5)

Range look at y-value

(minimum, maximum) the -5 will be on the left  of the comma b/c its the min

If this was a max, you would put the y-value on the right side of the comma
