Answer:

3cm < Third side < 7cm

Thus third side can take any value between 3cm and 7 cm

(note: excluding 3 cm and 7 cm)

If the value are integral then possible values of third side are

4cm, 5cm,6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using given by Triangle Inequality Theorem Given below.

  • Sum of two sides is always greater than value of third side
  • Difference of two sides is always less than value of third side

Given two sides are 2cm, 5cm

Sum of two sides = (2+5)cm = 7 cm

Difference of two sides = (5-2) = 3 cm

Let the third side be X

thus according to Triangle Inequality Theorem

X <  Sum of two sides of given triangle

X < 7cm  -----1

X > Difference of two sides

X > 3cm  ----1

combining expression 1 and 2 we have

3cm < X < 7cm

Thus third side can take any value between 3cm and 7 cm

(note: excluding 3 cm and 7 cm)

If the value are integral then possible values are

4c, 5cm,6c

F (x)=4x-7 when f (x)=8
MrRa [10]
Since both are equivalent to f(x), 4x-7 must equal 8
4x-7=8

Add 7 to both sides
4x= 15

Divide both sides by 4
x=15/4

Final answer: x=15/4

Help me find the equation for the dimensions of a window, please!
Zinaida [17]
On the sheet, it's not even asking you for the dimensions.
It's just asking you to set up the <em>equation that you would use</em>
to find the dimensions.  That's a great way to do it, because
nobody actually needs the answers, the whole thing is only
meant to help you learn HOW to find them.
==========================================
Call the width of the window 'W' .

We know that the length is 5 feet more than the width, so the length is (W + 5).

The area is (length times width).

Area = (W + 5) times (W).

36 = (W + 5) W

36 = W² + 5W

Subtract 36 from each side:

W² + 5W - 36 = 0

That's choice-4 .
