Answer: Choice C) {6, 9, 12}
=======================================================
Explanation:
Something like choice A can't form a triangle because the first two sides add to 6+9 = 15, which is <u>not</u> longer than the third side 15. We need to have x+y > z to be true. The same goes for choice B as well because 3+3 = 6 is too small compared to the third side 7. Choice D is similar to choice A.
In short, we can rule out choices A, B, and D.
The only thing left is choice C. Picking any two sides leads to having that sum be larger than the third side
- 6+9 = 15 which is larger than 12
- 9+15 = 24 which is larger than 6
- 6+15 = 21 which is larger than 9
So the conditions of the triangle inequality theorem work out here, and we have a triangle.
Answer:
104.8 in^2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 2 ways to solve this problem.
The 1st way:
Let's make 2 triangles and 1 rectangle:
Rectangle Length = 8.3
Rectangle Width = 8
So, the left out length will be 17.9 - 8.3
=> 9.6
Since, 9.6 cm is for 2 parts.
=> 9.6 / 2
=> 4.8
So, Height of the Triangle = 8
Base of the triangle = 4.8
Area of a rectangle
=> 8.3 x 8
=> 66.4
Area of the triangle
=> 1/2 x 8 x 4.8
=> 4 x 4.8
=> 19.2
There are 2 triangles:
=> 19.2 x 2
=> 38.4
=> 66.4 + 38.4
=> 104.8
The area of the trapezoid = 104.8 in^2.
The 2nd way is:
Area of a trapezoid
=> Smaller Base + Larger Base / 2 x Height
=> 8.3 + 17.9 / 2 x 8
=> 26.2 / 2 x 8
=> 13.1 x 8
=> 104.8
The area of the trapezoid is 104.8 in^2
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
5x + 5/4 = x - 3/9
5•x + 5/4 = x - 3/9
144x = -57
x = -19
48
≈ -0.395833
