Most likely you are expected to recognize that side lengths 2, 3, 5 will result in a "triangle" of zero area (looks like a line segment).
The appropriate choice is
(5, 3, 2)
_____
Some authors write the triangle inequality as a + b ≥ c for any assignment of a, b, c to side lengths. The "or equal to ..." allows the triangle to have zero area (looks like a line segment). Other authors insist the inequality not include the "or equal to" case. It looks like your text's author is in the latter camp.
Let's try plugging in some negative numbers. Let's do x=-1. 5+-1=4. So we know that if we put in a negative number for x, then n will be positive. But what if we do a number greater than -5, because 5+-5=0. So let's try x=-6. So 5+(-6)=-1. Hmm. So here it is. We know that any number under -5 will be positive and any number above -5 will be negative.
Answer:
94
Step-by-step explanation:
Add units together. 87+93+102=282.
Divide total number by number of days. 282/3=94
Answer:
Question 9: False
Question 10: False
Step-by-step explanation:
The third side is always greater than the other two sides.
<u>Question 9</u>
a = 6, b = 6, c = 5
Since the third side is the smallest, it would not create a triangle.
<u>Question 10</u>
a = 7, b = 2, c = 5
Since the third side is the smallest, it would not create a triangle.
The answer would be=22.9n
