we have three sides, let's look at the two smaller sides first.
check the picture below atop
if we move the sides closer and ever closer to each other, to the extent that one is right on top of the other, what is the length of the red side? Well, assuming the two smaller sides are one pancaked on top of the other, the red side will be as long as 9 - 4 = 5. However, the sides can't be on top of each other, because if that's so, we have a flat-line, and thus we wouldn't have a triangle. So whatever the third side may be, it must be greater than 5.
check the picture below at the bottom
Now, if we move the sides away from each other, farther and farther to the extent that one is parallel to the other, then the third side will just be as long as 4 + 9 = 13. However, we can't do that, because if that were to happen, we again will have a flat-line and not a triangle. So whatever the third side may be, it must be less than 13.
Complete question :
A 12-foot by 15-foot patio is increased by placing a stone border around the patio. The width of the border is the same all around the patio.The perimeter of the patio after it is expanded is 74 feet. The equation which represents x, the width of the border is 2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74. What is the width of the border?
1) 2 1/2 feet
2) 3 feet
4) 5 feet
5) 8 1/2 feet
Answer:
2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for X in the perimeter equation :
2[(12+2x)+15+2x)]=74
Open the bracket
2[(12 + 2x + 15 + 2x)] = 74
2(27 + 4x) = 74
54 + 8x = 74
8x = 74 - 54
8x = 20
x = 20/8
x = 2.5
Hence, width fo border = 2.5
The area of rectangle with length l and width w is

If the length of rectangle is expressed as
and the width of rectangle is expressed as
, then the area of rectangle is

The top one shows they are parallel lines because it shows angles of both lines and the transversal
