Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>
Options are:
</em></u>
- <em>2 feet
</em>
- <em>3 feet
</em>
- <em>9 feet
</em>
- <em>15 feet
</em>
- <em>19 feet
</em>
- <em>21 feet
</em>
- <em>30 feet</em>
<em>-------------------------------------</em>
Use the triangle inequality theorem: sum of any two side must be greater than the third side by length
- 2 feet ⇒ no, as 2 + 9 < 12
- 3 feet ⇒ no, as 3 + 9 = 12
- 9 feet ⇒ yes
- 15 feet ⇒ yes
- 19 feet ⇒ yes
- 21 feet ⇒ no, as 9 + 12 = 21
- 30 feet ⇒ no, as 9 + 12 < 30
For the first one at the top it’s 300 and 575 then going down it’s 17.21, 63.33, and then 184.68
1. (5x-8)=(8x-17)
5x-8x=-17+8
-3x=-9
x=3
2. (3x+5) + (4x-7) =180
3x+5+4x-7=180
3x+4x=180-5+7
7x=182
x=26
