Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle must be greater than the measure of the third side

In this problem

If the perimeter of triangle is equal to 36 cm

The longest side can't be equal to 18 cm

The student is incorrect

Because if the longest side is equal to 18 cm, and the perimeter is equal to 36 cm, then the sum of the other two sides is equal to 18 cm

and

Applying the triangle inequality theorem

Let

c -----> the longest side

a and b the other two sides

we have that

if c=18 cm

a+b > c

a+b > 18 cm

therefore

If the longest side is 18 cm, the sum of the other two sides must be greater than 18 cm and the perimeter will be greater than 36 cm

Type an equation for the following pattern

umka2103 [35]

For the given table, the difference between two consecutive y terms are

$4-3=5-4=6-5=7-6=1$

It means the difference is constant. So the given function is in arithmetic progression.

And to find the equation, representing the given series, we will use the formula for the nth term of arithmetic series, which is

$a_{n}= a+ (n-1)d$

Here,

$a_{n} =y, n=x, and \ d \ for \ the \ common \ difference.$

So we will get

$y= 3+(x-1)(1)
\\
y = 3 + x-1
\\
y= x +2$

The midpoint of AB is M(-1, –4). If the coordinates of A are (-3, -7), what are

quester [9]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If M(-1, 4) is midpoint of AB then:

$x_M-x_A=x_B - x_M\qquad\quad\ \wedge\qquad y_M-y_A=y_B - y_M\\\\ -1-(-3)=x_B-(-1)\qquad\wedge\qquad -4-(-7)=y_B -(-4)\\\\ -1+3=x_B+1\qquad\qquad\wedge\qquad\ \ -4+7=y_B+4 \\\\ {}\qquad x_B=1\qquad\qquad\wedge\qquad\qquad \ y_B=-1$
