Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Length of two sides of the triangle = 1 and 16 ;

The largest possible whole-number length of the third side would be ;

Recall from triangle inequality theorem; the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. Therefore. The largest possible whole number value the third side could have is:

Assume the third side is the largest :

Then, the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides ;

Third side < (16 + 1)

Third side < 17

Therefore, the closest whole number lesser than the sum of the other two sides is (17 - 1) = 16

romanna [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-2\dfrac{1}{3}-1\dfrac{1}{3}=-2\dfrac{1}{3}+\left(-1\dfrac{1}{3}\right)=-\left(2\dfrac{1}{3}+1\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\\\\=-\bigg[(2+1)+\left(\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\bigg]=-\left(3+\dfrac{1+1}{3}\right)\\\\=-3\dfrac{2}{3}

Solve system by elimination -9x - y =-19 <br> 5x + y = 15
vredina [299]

Answer:

(1, 10 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 9x - y = - 19 → (1)

5x + y = 15 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the y- term

- 4x + 0 = - 4

- 4x = - 4 ( divide both sides by - 4 )

x = 1

Substitute x = 1 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting into (2)

5(1) + y = 15

5 + y = 15 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

y = 10

solution is (1, 10 )

Which statements about angles are true? Check all that apply.
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

A,C,D,E

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is true because in fact, supplementary angles' measures add up to 180°.

The second one is false because there are 5 types, not 3. These are the types:

acute angle-an angle between 0 and 90 degrees.

right angle-an 90 degree angle.

obtuse angle-an angle between 90 and 180 degrees.

straight angle-a 180 degree angle.

reflex angle- a angle between 180 and 360 degrees.

Third is true too because linear pair means two angles that form a straight line, or 180°.

Fourth is true because straight Angle theorem states that all the straight angles are 180 degrees. If the legs are pointing exactly in the opposite directions, then it forms a straight angle.

Last one is true because by definition complementary angles always form a right angle, which is 90°.

Hope it helps!
