Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A, C, and D multiple choice answers have no chance of becoming a triangle because the lengths don't add up to either 180 or 90. Also, Triangle B follows the rule that 2 sides and be greater than the other side.

Answer: Choice B)

3 sides measuring 14 m, 11 m, and 18 m

=================================================

Explanation:

Let's go through choices A through D to see which result in one unique triangle, or could produce (infinitely) many triangles, or produce no triangles at all.

Choice A produces no triangles at all. Why is this? The angles don't add up to 180. We see that 75+45+50 = 170. The three angles must add to 180 degrees for a triangle to form.
Choice B produces one single triangle, which is why it's the final answer. The triangle inequality theorem can be used here to show that a triangle can be formed. The SSS (side side side) congruence theorem is then used to show that exactly one unique triangle is possible.
Choice C is a similar story to choice A. We can rule it out. This time we have the angles add to 40+50+60 = 150 which is short of 180.
Choice D can be ruled out too. The two sides a = 3 and b = 4 add to a+b = 3+4 = 7, but that's smaller than c = 8. We must have a+b > c to be true if we wanted to form a triangle. For more info, see the triangle inequality theorem.

Even if the angles did add to 180 (for either choice A or choice C), then we'd have infinitely many triangles and not one unique triangle. Think of dilating the triangles and how each dilated image retains the same angles. In other words, the triangles keep the same shape. Simply knowing the three angles is not enough info to create one unique triangle. We would need to know some info about the sides. This explains why AA or AAA is not a congruence theorem.

3. Try It #3 Write the point-slope form of an equation of a line with a slope of -2 that passes through the point (-2,2). Then r

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Point-slope form of equation given as $y-2=-2(x+2)$ .

Slope-intercept form of equation is given as $y=-2 x-2$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

In the question, it is given that the slope of a line is -2 and it passes from (-2,2).

It is asked to write the point-slope form of the equation and rewrite it as slope-intercept form.

To do so, first find the values which are given in the question and put it in the formula of point-slope form. Simplify the equation to rewrite as slope-intercept form.

Step 1 of 2

Passing point of the line is (-2,2).

Hence, $x_{1}=-2$ and

$y_{1}=2 \text {. }$

Also, the slope of the line is -2.

Hence, m=-2

Substitute the above values in point-slope form of equation given by $y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$\begin{aligned}&y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right) \\&y-2=-2(x-(-2) \\&y-2=-2(x+2)\end{aligned}$

Hence, point-slope form of equation given as y-2=-2(x+2).

Step 2 of 2

Solve y-2=-2(x+2) to write it as slope-intercept form given by y=mx+c.

$\begin{aligned}&y-2=-2(x+2) \\&y-2=-2 x-4 \\&y=-2 x-4+2 \\&y=-2 x-2\end{aligned}$

Hence, slope-intercept form of equation is given as y=-2x-2.

WRITE Which solid has a greater volume: cone with a base radious of 7 centimeters and a height of 28 centimeters or a pyramid Wi

Mumz [18]

The pyramid has a greater volume.
The volume of the cone is 1436.7 ( to 5 sf )
The volume of the pyramid is 1437.3 ( to 5 sf )
Both of them is 1440 when rounded off to 3 sf. However , the volume of the pyramid is greater.
( so sorry I can’t explain well but I hope it helps )
The solution is in the picture:) hope you understand better!! Sorry if It’s confusing

Assume that your present job pays a monthly gross salary of $1,560. You are offered a new position that pays $8.60 per hour with

motikmotik

Answer:

There are 4 weeks in a month and 40 working hours in a week

Since the $8.60 per hour, the gross monthly salary for your new position = 8.60*40*4 = $1,376

Your gross monthly salary at present job = $1,560

So the additional amount that you need to earn at your new position = 1,560-1,376 = $184

The hourly wage for addtional hours more than 40 hours at the new position = 1 1/2 * 8.60 = 1.5*8.60 = $12.90

So, number of hours that you need to work extra = 184/12.90 = 14.26 hours per month

So, number of hours that you need to work extra per week = 14.26/4 = 3.566 hours or 3.57 hours (Rounded to 2 decimals)
