The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the third side. If a triangle has one side that is 18
1 answer:
Answer: One side could be 18 and the other side will be 33.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Side #1 = 18
- Side #2 = 2x - 3
- Side #3 = x
<u>One way of setting up the inequality is: Side #2 + Side #3 > Side #1</u>
<u />
<u>Another way of setting up the inequality is: Side #1 + Side #3 > Side #2</u>
<u /><u />
<u>Final way of setting up the inequality is: Side #1 + Side #2 > Side #3</u>
<u /><em />
<em>Therefore, we have the range for our value of x, which is between 7 and 21. Any possible value between works. Negative measurements are rejected. One of the sides would equal the x-value, while the other side would equal the value of 2x-3.</em>

Answer:
2.2 metres squared
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find the area of this trapezoid.
The area of a trapezoid is denoted by:
, where
and
are the parallel bases and h is the height
Here, we already know the lengths of the two bases; they are 0.9 metres and 2.3 metres. However, we need to find the length of the height.
Notice that one of the angles is marked 45 degrees. Let's draw a perpendicular line from top endpoint of the segment labelled 0.9 to the side labelled 2.3. We now have a 45-45-90 triangle with hypotenuse 2.0 metres. As one of such a triangle's properties, we can divide 2.0 by √2 to get the length of both legs:
2.0 ÷ √2 = √2 ≈ 1.414 ≈ 1.4
Thus, the height is h = 1.4 metres. Now plug all these values we know into the equation to find the area:
The answer is thus 2.2 metres squared.
