1 answer:
9514 1404 393
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.)

Patrick has a total of 600 meters skein of yarn.
He used 248.9 meters of yarn to make a hat.
Now, If he has used 248.9 meters of yarn, we need to find how much yarn has he left.
We need to subtract the amount of yarn used from the total length. That is, 248.9 from 600.
So, now Patrick has left 351.1 meters of yarn.
Patrick needs to make a scarf that needs 354.03 meters of yarn but after making a hat he has left with only 351.1 meters of yarn. Therefore, Patrick does not have enough yarn to make a scarf.
