Answer:

c = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Let the three sides be a, b and c

Such that:

a = b= 5

Required

Find c such that a, b and c do not form a triangle

To do this, we make use of the following triangle inequality theorem

a + b > c

a + c > b

b + c > a

To get a valid triangle, the above inequalities must be true.

To get an invalid triangle, at least one must not be true.

Substitute: a = b= 5

5 + 5 > c ===> 10 > c

5 + c > 5  ===> c > 5 - 5 ===> c > 0

5 + c > 5  ===> c > 5 - 5 ===> c > 0

The results of the inequality is: 10 > c and c > 0

Rewrite as: c > 0 and c < 10

0 < c < 10

This means that, the values of c that make a valid triangle are 1 to 9 (inclusive)

Any value outside this range, cannot form a triangle

So, we can say:

c = 11, since no options are given

What number is 24% of 25
Katena32 [7]
The answer would be 6. Why? It's because of the 24%. You have to change the 24 into 0.24. If you left it alone, the process would be confusing. Changing it into a decimal is much easier. After you changed the percent into a decimal, multiply the 25. You should get 6 as an answer.

What is the surface area of a rectangular prism that has a height of 5 cm, a width of 10 cm, and a depth of 4 cm?
Ket [755]

Option C: 220 \ cm^2 is the surface area of the rectangular prism

Explanation:

The height of the rectangular prism is 5 cm

The width of the rectangular prism is 10 cm

The depth of the rectangular prism is 4 cm

We need to determine the surface area of the rectangular prism.

The surface area of the rectangular prism can be determined using the formula,

A=2(w l+h l+h w)

Substituting w=10 , h=5 and l=4 in the formula, we get,

A=2 \cdot(10 \cdot 4+5 \cdot 4+5 \cdot 10)

Multiplying the terms within the bracket, we have,

A=2 \cdot(40 +20+5 0)

Adding all the values within the bracket, we get,

A=2 \cdot(110)

Multiplying, we have,

A=220

Thus, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 220 \ cm^2

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
