What is the range of possible sizes for side x? 8.8

Mathematics
1 answer:
eduard2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The size of side x can range from 0.5 < x < 16.5.

The size of side x cannot take on values 0 and 16.5, but it ranges between those two values for side x to complete a triangle with those two other sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question

What is the range of possible sizes for side x? One Side is 8.5 the other is 8.0.

Solution

With the logical assumption that the three sides are to form a triangle

Let the two sides given be y and z

And the angle between y and z be θ

The angle θ can take on values from 0° to 180° without reaching either values.

As θ approaches 0°, (x+z) becomes close to equaling y. (x + z) < y

It can never equal y, because θ can never be equal to 0°, if a triangle is to exist.

Hence, x > (z−y)

x > 8.5 - 8.0

x > 0.5

As θ approaches 180°, x approaches the sum y+z, θ can never equal 180° if a triangle is to exist, so x never equals (y+z).

Hence x < (y+z)

x < 8 + 8.5

x < 16.5

Hope this Helps!!!

Clark spent a total of $52 on a pair of shoes and a new jacket. The shoes cost $4 more than the jacket. Write a system of equati
lara [203]

Answer:

  • x+y=52
  • x-y=4
  • y=24

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the two costs is $52, so we can write ...

  x + y = 52

The shoes cost $4 more than the jacket, so we can write ...

  x - y = 4

These are your system of equations.

__

Subtract the second equation from the first:

  (x +y) -(x -y) = (52) -(4)

  2y = 48 . . . . . simplify

  y = 24 . . . . . . .divide by 2

The cost of the jacket is $24.
