Answer:

  A. no

  B. no

  C. obtuse

Step-by-step explanation:

For side lengths to form a triangle, the sum of the shorter two must exceed the longest.

A. 5 + 8 = 13 . . . . a line segment, not a triangle

B. 7 + 12 < 26 . . . . no closure, not a triangle

C. 11 + 15 > 20 . . . . a triangle. A picture shows it to be obtuse

  You can also compare 11² +15² vs 20² ⇒ 346 vs 400. The long side is too long for a right triangle, so the triangle must be obtuse. (The Pythagorean theorem tells you a right triangle with those legs would have a long side of √346 = 18.6.)

Which of the following shows the polynomial below written in descending order?
forsale [732]
To write the polynomial in descending order, arrange the terms from the highest to the lowest degree. Simply base on the exponents of the variable x. You have 3, 12, 1 and 7. In descending order, that would be: 12, 7, 3 and then 1. The answer is D.
