For 3 sides to form a triangle two sides added together need to be greater then the 3rd side. You need to check all 3 combinations:
1. 11.5 + 10.5 = 22, 22> 6.1
11.5 + 6.1 = 17.6 17.6 > 10.5
10.5 + 6.1 = 16.6, 16.6 > 11.5
This one can make a triangle.
2. 9.5 + 3.5 > 4.5
9.5 + 4.5 > 3.5
4.5 + 3.5 < 9.5
Cannot make a triangle.
3. 8 + 6.7 > 1
6.7 + 1 < 8
Cannot make a triangle.
4. Can make a triangle
5. Can
6. Can
Let us draw a picture to make the things more clear.
Attached is the image.
We have been given that
Therefore, we have
Now, in triangle bcd, we have
Now, in triangle acb, we have
Thus, ad is 15 cm.
Answer:
x = - 2 or x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
the expression inside the absolute value can be positive or negative
Removing the bars and solve x - 1 = ± 3
x - 1 = - 3 or x - 1 = 3
x - 1 = - 3 ( add 1 to both sides ) ⇒ x = - 2
x - 1 = 3 ( add 1 to both sides ) ⇒ x = 4
