8cm and 9 cm because the sum of the two sides must be greater than 13.

5+8=13
6+7=13
7+2=9
8+9=17

Answer:

8 cm and 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

The sum of the lengths of two sides of a triangle must <em>always be greater</em> than the length of the third side.

5 cm and 8 cm ⇒ 5+8=13; not greater than 13

6 cm and 7 cm ⇒ 6+7=13; not greater than 13

7 cm and 2 cm ⇒ 7+2=9; not greater than 13

8 cm and 9 cm ⇒ 8+9=17; greater than 13

Therefore, the last set of two sides is possible for the lengths of the the other two sides of this triangle.

I hope this helps!

alexandr1967 [171]

65+50x = 55x + 20
-50x -50
65=5x+20
- 20 - 20
55=5x
55/5= 5x/5
11=x
The solution represents that it 11 months will make both gyms the exact same price.

Judy is pulling on a trunk with a 12-N force. Ike pulls at right angles to Judy. With how much force must Ike pull to make the r

Ratling [72]

To understand the problem, let's first draw a free body diagram of the forces exerted by Judy and Ike on the truck. (Refer to the left side of the attachment).

To solve for the resultant, we just use the tip-to-tail method. This is illustrated on the right side of the attachment.

We can see that the tip-to-tail method forms a right triangle thus we can just apply the Pythagorean theorem in solving for Ike's force.

$20^{2} = 12^{2} + F^{2}$
$400 = 144 + F^{2}$
$256 = F^{2}$
$F = 16.0$

ANSWER: Ike must pull the truck with a force of 16.0 N.

For their twentieth wedding anniversary, Richard and Sylvia had a party for several of their best friends. Things were going alo

kompoz [17]

Answer:

Richard is older

Step-by-step explanation:

We can set up an inequality for both statements.

Let r equal Richard's age and s equal Sylvia's age.

"I am older than my wife."

Since Richard is speaking, the inequality would look like this:

r > s

This means Richard is older than Sylvia.

"I am younger than my husband."

Since Sylvia is speaking, the inequality would look like this:

s < r

This means that Sylvia is younger than Richard.

We can flip one inequality to "see" them from the same perspective.

Let's use s < r

To make it so that we can see the relationship from Richard's perspective, flip the entire inequality.

s < r

r > s

The inequality from the first quote is identical to this one!

Therefore, Richard is older than Sylvia.
