Which set of numbers could be the length of the sides

Mathematics
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
3 0

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.

The measure of each interior angle of a regular polygon is 157.5 ∘ . How many sides does the polygon have?
uranmaximum [27]

180(n-2)=157.5n

180N-360=157.5n

180N-157.5n=360

22.5N=360

N=360/22.5

N=16

Find the slope of the line that passes through (6, 8) and (2, 17).
Inga [223]

Answer:

-9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is equal to the change in y, over the change in x, or rise over run.

x, is the run

y, is the rise

You can substitute the coordinate numbers on the equation to find the slope. which is y2-y1/x2-x1

m= 17-(8)

——

2-(6)

Your answer will be -9/4 (it doesn’t matter where the negative goes, and there’s a negative because 2-6= -4)

Hope this helps.
